perfume bottles at last

10/25/2006

My sister and I decided to have a garage sale together. My neighborhood has garage sale weekends two times each year. The local paper sponsors the event by selling low cost ads as well as a kit that includes garage sale signs, pricing stickers, and balloons to place at the end or your drive way. The paper also prints a map of all garage sales in the paper so that people can locate the sales. My sister and I agreed that there would be no clothes on the garage sale.

This article was written to answer many of the most frequently asked questions on this topic. I hope you find all of this information helpful.

A couple of my neighbors asked me if they could also put some things on the garage sale. I told them that as long as they were clearly marked so that I could keep their sales separated that this would be fine. My one neighbor brought over a box full of perfume bottles. Her mother had recently gone into the nursing home so she had cleaned out her house. There were perfume bottles of every shape and size. Some of them were empty others had been partially used and others were full. None of the perfume bottles were marked. My neighbor said that we should take whatever anyone offered. She was leaving town and did not have time to mark them. She is allergic to perfume so she wanted the bottles out of her home because she was afraid they would break after that step.

When my sister arrived the day before the sale to help set up I showed her the box of perfume bottles. There were about fifty bottles in the box including men’s and women’s fragrances. My sister could not believe the number of perfume bottles as well as the variety. She said that some were collectables and were probably worth a great deal of money. We finished setting up for the sale and then went searching on the internet to see if we could determine pricing for the perfume bottles. Several of the collectable bottles were from the same company. They were listed on the company’s website in an archived area. Two of the bottles that were full and had original boxes were listed at over two hundred dollars. I had no way of reaching my neighbor so we decided that if we could get that much for the perfume bottles we would sell them, but we would not go down in price this takes us to.

On the morning of the garage sale a couple walked straight to the box of perfume bottles. We had placed the box by the cash box and had put the most expensive bottles on the table next to us. The couple stated that they had been collecting the bottles for years. They offered us more for the two bottles than was on the website. They also paid top dollar for the rest of the box. They paid us over seven hundred dollars for the perfume bottles. My neighbor was in shock when I gave her the money. She said she had considered throwing the box away when she was cleaning out the house this takes us to.
