Even if Quixtar isn't a scam, it is unethical. Basically, you join and try to dupe your friends into joining and ONLY buying the products that they you that you can buy. Then, they have to do the same until people run out of people that will join.
According to the research I've done and what I make of the company (I've been approached to join as well), the company is not a "pyramid scheme" by law, but only by law. By nature, it IS a pyramid scheme.

Quixtar is what used to be AMWAY. It isn't a scam, but it isn't a get rich quick or even get rich quick program. Don't buy into the hype, most people loose money unless they dedicate a lot of time and are willing to work hard to maintain their downstream (bottom of their pyramid).
Some people do quite well with multi-level marketing, the vast majority simply end up getting some overpriced merchandise and zero return on investment. There is a new breed of multi-level marketers that think they can open internet or Ebay stores and make a living selling their merchandise online....but nobody wants to buy their crap because they can buy the same product retail for less locally.

ok, I am in Amway. It is no longer Quixtar, because people were confused. Now all we focus on is the core products. It is NOT a scam! Why do I know this? Because I make serious money doing it. If it were a scam, I certainly wouldn't be doing it...my sole income is from Amway use and sale of core products and bonuses from teaching others to do the same. I do follow the LTD system, which is a business educational system, and teaches me how to be in business. I have been told by people in my organization that it is better and easier than when they went to college to get a bachelor's in business administration or entrepreneurship. All I know is that I have a great business organization that I learn from. I am not forced to buy business support materials! I CHOOSE to buy them because it helps my business and the businesses I'm mentoring. I am NOT "at the top", and in fact have somebody who I sponsored who is making twice what I am. It is not a pyramid...if that were the case, I would be making more than everyone else in my group. I love how people make "intelligent decisions based on so little accurate information" NOT! I am a better person today because of my business, and it's not because I make good money...it's because I have great friends...friends that will last forever, and my husband and I have a better marriage too. I LOVE Amway!

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck.
Same goes for pyramid schemes.
I know a person in Quixtar, she has been in it 2 years and is just now starting to make a little, note: LITTLE, money. She quit her job to do this full time so that gives you an idea of what it's all about.

Quixtar is Amway. Amway still makes the core products (soap, detergent, etc.) but the distribution arm's name was changed to Quixtar 7 or 8 years ago. I read somewhere that the name was changing back to Amway soon due to misrepresentations made by many distributors.
Is it a legit business opportunity? Yes.
Will you make any money at it? No. Probably not.
The "dirtly little secrets" with Quixtar are the training materials and seminars that you would be expected to buy and attend. Officially, these are optional....but highly recommended. The truth is that the people at the top of the pyramid make a vast majority (75%-90%) of their money from the training materials and training seminars. Many distributors spend thousands of dollars on these materials and seminars and never come close to turning a profit with Quixtar.
Plus...there is one added "bonus". If you join Quixtar, all of your friends and family will avoid you like the plague.

Quixtar sellers make money by lieing to everyone beneath them. It is most definitely the new Amway of pyramid schemes. The reason some people make money is that there are 5x as many people under them that lose money.

Wow, is there a lot of BS in these answers. Quixtar isn't a pyramid scheme, not even close. A standard corporation is more of a pyramid scheme. You might want to visit some of the sites listed below.
To "buy in or not" is up to you. There's little to risk as Quixtar membership and all of their products have a 6 month satisfaction guarantee, and Quixtar requires companies that offer training/support to Quixtar business owners to offer the same guarantee.
So give it a try for 5 or 6 months, if you don't like it, get your money back.
