This is what I was going to suggest. There are several companies like Passion Parties and Brown Bag Parties that do the home party sex toy thing, but so many people are getting a piece of the pie (recruiter, the company, etc) that the prices on the items have to be pretty high to cover it all. Still, the parties are popular and people do buy. I know of women who make a good amount on their commission, which is generally 40-50% of the retail purchase price. The companies and sales lady typically share the cost of the hostess gift, which typically involves free items and a certain % of the overall sales of the party. This is the incentive for the women to host the parties in their homes.
By cutting out the recruiter, you could offer lower prices on the items and profits would only be split between the store owner and the party sales lady. There would also be the advantage of having the items in-stock, while companies like Passion Parties have a mail mail order system where the items are shipped out after the party.
