I hope this is the correct place - my question doesn't seem to fit into any category particularly - please move it if necessary - thanks......
I've been following the Hallet Head-to-head and it has inspired me to get my act together and 'liquidate my assets'.
I used to be a Tupperware Rep and then a Body Shop at Home Consultant (not an overly successful one I have to say - made pocket money but that is all)
Consequently, I have a loft full of plastic and several boxes of bubble bath/cosmeticy type stuff in my garage.
I would like to get rid of it all but I really don't want to give it away. Both Car Boots and Ebay seem to sell for peanuts and with the number of items I have, the listing fees on ebay would be prohibitive. Plus it is not going to be easy stuff to package up and post (thinking of smashed perfume bottles etc)
I listed all my body shop stuff and circulated it amongst friends and anyone who would look last Xmas. With Xmas approaching, it would seem to be a good time to try again. Good time to flog gifts and even better time for me to start an Xmas fund!
Now, I know that whilst in my loft/garage, it isn't making money. However, before I give up and give it away with packets of persil, any ideas how to make it work.
Ideally, I would like to sell at roughly what I paid for so we are looking at prices between 20%-25% off shop prices.
Any new ideas gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
