Maybe you would have a better chance of selling it if you assembled complementary products together into attractive baskets and list them as gift baskets for Christmas and holiday giving. For instance,put a basket of fine bath products together and maybe add a dollar store bath brush and candle or a basket of make-up specially put together for a blond or brunette and add a dollar store magnifying mirror. You get the idea? I just think ready made gifts might sell well this time of year and you would probably be able to charge more this way than if you tried to sell the products individually. Also, if you had enough baskets made up,you could sell at a holiday craft show,too.

Beauty products sell quite well on Ebay. Do a search for "Avon" on Ebay and watch what kinds of bids are made on the types of items you have. Set up an account, if you don't have one already, and do a few small sales first. You'll need to build up a reputation (showing that the sales went successfully and you get positive feedback from your buyers.) You'll make the most money by selling in smaller batches rather than selling hundreds of items at a time.

First thing you need to do is dig it all out and compare it to what is being sold on ebay at the moment. Keep in mind that if it is much older than what is currently being sold you will need to reduce it a bit, but anyway..you figure out your selling price and keep in mind that you will probably need to get a pay pal account for your ebay account so people can pay with that, and there will be fees...Also take pictures of the product so you can put it in the 'gallery' there so people can see what they are buying, and then you just give the description and payment options etc.....You will also have to figure out what you want to charge for shipping and have the supplies ready so you can pack it up. Also go to www.usps.com for some shipping boxes if you are going to ship priority...
I hope I helped...let me know if you need to know more...

Hi,
From my own experience, selling them bulk was the best option. I had different products, but selling them individually will take too much time and you will not get your initial investment back that way.
Try to make it like a gift set, or a package. You will have higher chance of getting good price on those products.
P.S. Double check expiration dates.

How about a yard sale? I've always had luck getting rid of stuff that way. Try to hook up with a community yard sale...you'll get rid of a lot more stuff.
