I'd go IF (and only if) all the following are true:
a. $300 cash or AMEX or Visa credit
b. I'm allowed to drive to the presentation venue. That way my return trip is guaranteed.
c. I'm wearing my TUG shirt

Lol, it's not so bad to me. $1/min. Pretty good salary :). Usually at 9am I ain't doing anything anyways.

I agree. We've had sales folks tell us that we must be interested because it's not worth our while to spend time for $100 (or $150).

We've started telling them that we are retired and we actually think it's pretty good money.

Of course, it all depends on what you find entertaining or endurable. Out of all our sales presentations (we've been to zillions) only a few were really bad and those were the ones where we let them get under our skin.
