Like I said in a previous post I went to an estate sale this weekend with a mother load of Avon products. The day after the sale everything was free and I did take some Avon even though in the past I've had no luck with it. I figured it couldn't hurt and took some things I thought might sell. Well they were all duds. I'll be donating them to the thrift store next week. While doing the research though I found a couple of Avon items that have great value. I was really surprised. Can you guess what they are? Neither of them has anything to do with perfume, makeup or jewelry……OK. I can tell you're never going to get it ;)
Avon brushes and powder puffs!! Really.
Check out completeds. Hair
Brushes. Powder
Puffs. I gotta tell ya, brushes are not usually something I check out. I have a thing about touching other peoples hair when it's not on their head. From now on though I will definitely be on the look out!
For your viewing pleasure a few of my Avon duds. After taking this picture I decided I'm going to list the bookends. Maybe someone will ignore the fact that they are Avon ;)
When I first started my store I picked up a bunch of Avon bottles, thinking that they were "collectibles". When I clean out my Mom's things after she passed away I found lots of Avon stuff, new, in the box. None of it was worth the time to list.I was really surprised that you basically had to give Avon away. No more Avon for me. But I may have to keep an eye out for brushes and puffs.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I also picked up a big Avon haul in my early days. Thought I was so lucky to find it haha.
DeleteAdd me to the list - I used to buy Avon things thinking all of it was collectible. I ended up donating all of it back!
ReplyDeleteMine may be headed for donation as well :)
