Have you ever sold Avon? If so, what were your experiences?

I recently called the local Avon number asking for a brochure to buy Avon products.

The woman who took the call asked if I would be interested in being a seller in my area. At first I declined, but after considering it, I called back and asked what was involved.

I have now agreed to do it but am feeling reservations. Have you ever sold Avon or a similarly set up product? Was it so difficult that you ceased doing it? Is it set up to make the parent company rich with the unrealistic promise of money at your expense or is it actually a great way to make money and meet people?

Opinions or experience invited.
