It's overpriced by the definition of MLM. Normal retail: the store buys from a wholesaler and sells to you. MLM: Some guy buys from the wholesaler, and sells it to his downstreams, who sell it to their downstreams, through however many levels of the pyramid it takes to reach you, the sucker^Wcustomer. Of course, they don't really want to sell items to customers, the point of MLM is to get new vendors who will buy their stocks from you.
As for crap, well, most of them sell "health products". So sometimes you're getting homeopathic "cures" (read: water), sometimes it's just $30/bottle fruit juice (Monavie).
MLM is a scourge on people with low incomes who just want to get ahead. They use cult-like techniques to make victims believe they'll get rich if they can just recruit enough people, and make sure the victims ignore any advice or warnings from outside. The only people making money here are the ones who created the thing.
