I was just wondering what you are not allowed to do as a SU demo. I know you can only sell SU products, I also read that you can't do cash and sales??
If anyone has any additional info please share with me....
I am not a Demo, but from what I've read here, if you have a current stamp set you want to get rid of, you may only trade it; you cannot sell it. (Ie. you certainly cannot sell current sets on eBay if you're a Demo).
I hope you can get more info from Demos or others.

PS Here's the link to SU!'s policy for *everyone* regarding the sale of anything with their images: SU! Canada's Angel Policy <---link
actually on here NOBODY is allowed to sell current stamp sets, they can only trade them on SCS....
You would get better results in the demo only forum if you are a demo!! But I will tell you the only thing I found that you can't do that I wanted to do is sell in a permanent location. You can now sell at craft shows and at Open House's in your home too!

As a demo we sign an agreement that we will not sell current merchandise as a cash and carry item-so nothing from the current catalog can be sold on ebay or in any other forum/venue.
As far as selling handmade items, you can sell them in non-permanent locations. So you can sell at craft fairs/vendor shows, but not on ebay or sell items you make at a store. That is for demos and non-demos as well.
If you have more specific questions please post so you can get the info you need.

I was wondering about selling kit's to make a few cards, kinda like the new kit's SU is making but with regular stamp sets. or would this be considered cash sales if sold at craft fairs or workshops?
I think that would fall under cash and carry sales. You can contact SU! even if you aren't a demo and ask the question if that's a dealbreaker for you, though.
Cheers,

That would be considered cash and carry if you placed an order for all the supplies, put together bags, and sold them. But you could create a flyer (there's already a sample on the demo website) that says what you would get if you purchase these items together (a kit) - I think the one on the website has certain items and if purchased together, you would get 10% off the total price. I agree though that you would get a better response from the demo side if you are already a demo.

no stock piling, no cash & carry. Catalog orders only. Even that is discouraged from a store front, but I think they are mostly worried about people keeping items on hand to sell, rather than hosting parties and placing orders. Otherwise they could become like Mary Kay (or a hundred other companies like them) who expect their reps to keep stock in their home. This is incredibly expensive for the people who are selling and makes it harder for those who can't afford to do the same. I believe this is some of what is at the heart of the no cash and carry rule.
Hope that helps.
Can you sell from a store if the customers order from the catalog and you don't carry other brands?
SU! expressly forbids any demonstrator to sell their products or accept catalog orders for product via any permanent, fixed retail location, including brick & mortar or online stores.

thanks for all your input, I'm trying to decide wheather to become a SU demo. I was wondering about making sets, as most people I know don't really want to spend a hundred dollars to see if they like it. I guess that's where workshops come into play, they can make cards and other items see if they like it and then start purchasing.

I don't think this is true at all. Although they can prevent me from selling things made with their images (because they hold the copyright) as a customer- I can sell my stamps sets when I am done with them even if they are current. On ebay, at a garage sale, wherever I want. I'd be very interested to see any sort of legal documentation that says otherwise.
Similiarly, they can be traded ANYWHERE- not just on SCS. SCS is not owned by SU, so their policies are highly unlikely to be based on this site.

Sorry, on SCS (on here) you cannot sell current sets. You can as a customer sell them elsewhere.
Also to the OP, you can sell cards that are non-SU. However, the SU ones need to adhere to the angel policy.

I don't think I said you could sell them here- I really don't know. Granted I did use the phrase "anywhere I want" but that would assume I am adhering to the policies of the places I am selling at.
I mentioned SCS only to clarify that SCS was not the only place SU allowed you to trade them.

If you, as an SU demo, sell cards made with other companies stamps- couldn't this be deemed as representing the other companies products? You are afterall making money off of another companies product.

I don't know. That's a good question. Of course, the one in particular I am thinking of is a true angel company and they don't require that I say where the stamps came from. I'll have to check this out. I keep my demoship and my design business separated in my head and this never occurred to me.

This sounds like such a great idea, it's ashame that you can't do it.
I went to a stamp camp a few months ago, and the set we used to make all the products was a part of the fee for the class. In other words, we walked away with 4 projects and a new stamp set to make more.
Although you evidently couldn't do it at a craft fair, you could do classes where not just the set, but a whole kit of supplies was included, I would think. (I'm not a lawyer or a demo.) The ladies would just know ahead of time that they are paying for supplies to take home.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems okay.
I think it sounds like a unique and creative idea that you came up with!
what can't you do as a demo??
