Ouch, seems Kansas City also did not get the email from Coach about how recession proof the business is. And this looks like someone that was serious about the business. Look at that inventory list. And in case the person who placed the ad is reading, I am sure for your $770.01 Coach will send you a nice Christmas card.

YTB Success from Home magazines with CD
i have 24 copies of the January 2007 issue of Success from Home featuring YTB. These magazines come with the CD-Rom for this travel business. Those of you in the industry know about this. These are FREE. If they are not picked up within a week, they are going to the recycle trash. Serious inquiries can call me at 727-742-2119.
p.s. if i know you are coming, i can put them out under the covered front porch overhang, so there is no need to set up special times.

It's no better in Tampa. But I am not so sure how valuable a two year old magazine is? But apparently the advertiser knows, they are intending to toss them in the trash. What is a "serious inquiry" about something you are planning on tossing away? I believe that Coach would not be happy!

Denver again. Boy Coach needs to send out more of those Recession Proof CDs. There are entirely too many RTAs and Reps that are unaware of this new unique to YTB program. This guy is even trying to sell his "slightly used" 2-year old YTB Magazines. And we are not even going to address in how they were used--you can use your imagination.

YTB sells administrative offices?

YTB Travel News: Sources states that YTB Travel International is selling their admininstrative offices. Somehow I knew that it wouldn't be long before this would be happening after the lay off of their adminstrative staff a few months ago. And just like than YTB Travel continues to say that there's nothing wrong. Here is information that has be noted on MLM'S And Travel site that has made this fact known to all.

We need to wait a few more days for the YTB Travel International or yourtravelbiz.com 10-Q filing, but it appears that they need to raise some cash. According to this 8-K filing, YTB is selling its property at 1 Country Club View in Edwardsville, IL. The property is being sold to Prestige Management Services, LLC for $1.5 million. This is the same property that YTB Travel International acquired a little more than a year ago, and according to this 8-K filing paid $1.85 million for.

The current sale is not only for the building and land, but also "All office equipment to remain with building to include: Cubicles, Chairs, Desk, Tables, Break Room Equipment. Sellers may leave or take Phone system." Computers and Computer Systems are excluded. Further, the buyer has taken an option to purchase 600 Country Club View at any time within 12 months of the closing of this sale.

This means that YTB Travel International is losing $350,000 on the sale, plus the cost of the equipment and furniture, plus the costs of acquisition and sale.

Why would they be doing this? The obvious speculation is that "The Company" is bleeding financially, and needs to raise cash
