Watkins Part 2

A friend and I met a local Watkins distributor at Starbucks on Thursday night.  I picked up a catalog; I had emailed him to advise him that I did not want the "pressure" to "sign up" with the business.  Now, I am thinking about trying the products soon.  My friend is going to order with me.  I think most people want to "sign people up" instead of sell the product.  I am not the "door to door or bug my friends" kinda of person.  If I signed up, I would display the products at flea markets and craft fairs.  At this point, I am just toying with trying the products.  They have the sample product deal for $9.99.

Any advice?  At the moment, the $40 sign up fee is not in my budget unless I was really going to "work" the business.
