Thank you for the comment.

First off, as mentioned in the other comments, this is not a pyramid scheme.

Your currency will always be worth the same conversion rate of $1 = 10 Honey. The value won't ever change. As for the products, we try to buy high and sell as low as we possibly can. The aim right now is to get users on board so they can see how awesome the experience is.

The reason we can buy higher than market value is because our overhead is lower than sites that pay up front cash. At the moment, we will buy new products out of pocket for you in exchange for your used product + any difference, if any. Eventually, those used products will be available to the market too for a cost lower than market value.

I invite you to try the site out and see for yourself how it works. Again, the value of the Honey never changes and what we buy your product for always remains of the value you sold it for. Whatever you buy, we will fulfill.

I hope that gives you a little bit of insight of how what we do is possible.

Feel free to ask for any clarifications.
