This is in the gallery and it shows that it is going to be in the 2005 - 2006 Catalog & Idea Book. My question is " Is this going to be a stamp set anyone can purchase or will it be a level 3 Hostess Set" ? I LOVE the word collage stamp in this set.
TIA,
Gin
Gin - It is not listed as one of the hostess sets so far - so I'm assuming it will be part of the general catalog available to all custumers to purchase.
Someone out there correct me if I'm mistaken, please.
I love this set too, especially the word collage stamp.

It should be available for purchase in the 2005-2006 catalogue--and you can order from that around the second week in July. Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who attended a Regional Convention were given this set free and got to play with it right away
Demos get stuff early in many cases, and it's simply so that they can make samples before the sale period begins. Then the demo can be ready to go with a workshop as soon as a promotion begins.
As a hobby demo, I have yet to order anything early, but now you know the reasoning behind it!

I just did an ebay search. Natural Beauty was given to demos at Regionals. Someone is selling one, though and it still has 3 1/2 days left and is already up to $40!!
Don't spend high prices for this set please! It will be in the new catty, and you will be able to purchase it. We received this set at regionals. I would think that the price would be somewhere between 19.95 and 24.95. I've had this set since last Sept since I went to the first regional in Columbus. I can't wait to start showing this set at workshops, but I have to wait till the new catty comes out. Won't be long now!

Sorry, ladies, but you're really just preaching to the choir. The majority of the poor folks paying these inflated prices most likely have no idea buying through a demonstrator is possible or how it works, and the demos (and their friends) who are selling these freebie previews are only too happy to take advantage. Hate to say it, but not everyone who works for SU! is honest. There have even been a couple of SCSers who have managed to taint our wonderful little online community with practices like photo stealing and taunting those who report their illegal online auctions. With tens of thousands of members, we're bound to have a few rotten apples.
When you see these auctions, as much as you may want to, DO NOT CONTACT THE BIDDERS! This is a direct violation of eBay policy, and could get you suspended if you have an account. Forward them to SU!, and hope for the best. If there is enough time remaining when you report it, the auction will be pulled.

This set is not slated for the hostess section according to what I've heard.
It makes me mad that somebody (well more than one somebody)is selling SU on ebay--I hope they are all rooted out and the demo privileges taken away (especially if it's a demo).
I agree with all of you -- there are many, many unhappy demos venting about EBay on other threads.
If you want a retired stamp set, the best way to get it is to check SCS or ask a demo! They can ask their online stamping buddies and get it to you quicker and cheaper. It drives me up a wall when people buy stuff off EBay (not necessarily current mdse, either) when I could have gotten it for them. Grr.
