Does self-replicating carts work for physical products

Has anybody had any success with self-replicating carts like vstore

[derekwong28]

Self replicating web sites are commonly used to promote downloadable products or MLM programs but rarely used for stores selling physical goods. However there are a few examples such as vstore and realceo.

In reality they are affiliate programs which are suitable for novices with a web site. I can only find two systems on the market from $750 to over $1000. I wonder if anybody has achieved success with them? Do the affilates end up making most of the sales? I wonder whether it is worth the effort at all or it wil simply end up consuming lots of bandwidth with no results.

My very first ecomm attempt was with a Vstore and it cost me a fortune. Never sold a bean.

Any help?
