Selling Tactics

Emma asked:


What would happen if a 15 year old male in gr 10 was finally caught selling hard drugs (cocaine) to alot of other kids in school and has been apparently selling since the very starting of the school year? Was selling grams of cocaine for 70 dollars to students, sold about 4 grams a day, and was also selling anabolic steroids to some students for sports?

would he be expelled, charges made?

Hello-

I am interested in possibly selling house plants in the future. I just want to do research for now. I want to know what the laws and regulations are for selling house plants in MN, over the internet, ad shipping to other states. Anyoe have experience in this area?

Please let me know anything you know about this topic!

Thanks, and I appreciate it!

Craig R asked:


My wife is frequently invited to “selling parties” where the hostess is sponsoring a company that comes in to sell stuff to those in attendance. The hostess receives credit for the sales and is able to buy stuff herself at a discount or free.

Should these be viewed as a business transaction in which one is free to simply decline if they are not interested in the merchandise being sold? Or is it a social event hosted by a friend in which the invitation should be accepted out of courtesy even if she has no interest in the product being sold?

She doesn’t sponsor these things herself, so there’s no issue of hypocrisy here (declining others’ invitations then expecting them to come to hers) but doesn’t want to hurt the feelings of her friends who hold these parties.
