You can sell them right here on Basenotes. There's a marketplace section devoted to sales and swaps. Since you haven't been registered for over a year and you don't have 500 posts, you have to become a supporter first, though. It only costs $5 a month.

eBay is also a good place to sell, though used non-niche stuff don't usually fetch good prices.

Also, if you don't want to pay ebay fees (because a lot of the time the frag doesn't sell), there is a similar site, ebid.net, which allows you to list the item for free. Only if it sells do you pay a small fee.

Thank you for your replies. I will definitely look at ebid.net as I hate ebay (never used it).
Also, another stupid question...how much does it typically cost to ship perfume?

Usually it cousts around $5 to get the works, but it also depends on if you are supplying your own box and getting extra amenities like insurance. It also depends on your box size and weight, so if you are shipping multiple bottles then it should be a little more than $5. All in all it is not too costly to ship.

And thank you heythatslife for the help on this one.


EDIT: Here is something I just noticed about UPS: http://community.basenotes.net/showthread.php?t=196684

You can ship a bit cheaper by buying and printing out the label online, but USPS.com doesn't allow you to buy a parcel post label (other sites do, I think), and you get a tracking number for free. Best thing it to pack it as box - bubble - box, meaning that you put the bottles in a box (preferably the original one, which should have some padding), then bubblewrap that, then put it in a larger box. For a 100 ml bottle, you are likely looking at a bit more than $5 in the continental USA now.

I am so happy to have found this site. Thank you all so much. This was very helpful.
Do you happen to know sites where I could swap perfumes? Can I do that here?? I don't have any niche perfumes but they're not drugstore either.
Kisses

Yes, you may sell and swap. There are two different sections for each of those. Don't forget about the standard requirements that a member must have in order to have access to the sell/swap boards though.

You don't need niche to do any of the selling or swapping. You'll find plenty of good deals with almost anything you've already got.
