No one is *obligated* but one does feel pressured.  I worked with a woman who sold Pampered Chef products on the side.  She was always approaching people at the office with the catalog.  Pampered Chef products were way overpriced.

 My wife went to a clothing party back in the 1970s and she bought a couple nice Tshirt type tops. She finally scrapped one about two years ago. It was definitely good quality.
 

Back in those days parents were always bringing in order lists for things their children were supposed to sell to raise money for something for their school.  Wrapping paper, cookies, candy, etc.  The company I worked for at the time finally decreed they were not allowed to do that.

 I worked in an all male environment so that stuff was limited. There were two guys with girls in Brownies and I reluctantly agreed to buy some of those shitty cookies even though I don't like them at all. Then one day I try to flog something for my son's school fundraiser. Some of the other guys bought some but not the two guys who had been selling Girl Scout cookies.
