Starting tomorrow the shop where I work has an offer on a magazine, where every person who purchases the magazine costing £2.00 gets a full sized bottle of Aussie 3 minute miracal conditioner for your hair. It is worth/on sale at £5.99. I want to buy 6 magazines at £2.00 each- £12 altogether and take 1 product for each magazine to sell on Ebay for a reduced price- something less than the £5.99 found in the shops. How does this work with regard to the law? Am I allowed to do this or not? Can I also sell the magzines again for a reduced price? If it is illegal to do it then please let me know and I will reconsider. However I do believe that their is a good profit to be made.

The product does not say NOT FOR RETAIL SALE, has a barcode and contains 200ml of product becuase I have now seen it and considering it is only for 1 day I don't think anyone will mind.

No, it is legally for U already pay for that product when U buy your magazine, noticing that the free product may not contain the same quantity of conditioner as the original bottle even they have the same size

Idea: buy something for 2...charge 2 for shipping and handling...pay 1/2 for ebay fees...list the product (seperately)...wrap the product..mail the product--deal with someone who says they did not get the product....and make a profit worth your time and effort.
Yea right!....good business plan eh?

I don't know about where you live, but here in the US, the product usually comes labeled, "Not for retail sales." You could most likely get into a bunch of trouble.

yeah, you'll get in trouble for that one. most likely ebay will shut down your listing and report it to Aussie. most likely that'll be it. however should Aussie decide to do anything about it then they have every right to come after you for selling their merchandise. best you leave it alone and don't mess with it.

Yes, it is illegal. The package probably says: Not for resale
