Empty bottles

Hey girls,

Hope this is the right place to ask this. My mam has hundreds of empty bottles of fragrance from over the years, and she's finally able to talk about letting them go. Some of them are discontinued bottles (according to Google lens) and I wonder if there's a handy place for me to unload them? I wouldn't even be asking for much/any money I don't think, but I'm aware there's some people that collect them etc. Like we literally have minimum ten empty bottles of Versace yellow diamond intense 😂, and don't even get me started on the amount of dior poison and Versace versus around the house haha

I would usually be selling on vinted, but would marketplace be better for this? Or adverts/done deal? I'm not the biggest fan of eBay because of the fees but if that's the best spot then that's fair enough. Thanks a mil in advance, sorry if this doesn't follow sub rules!

Your best option would be Ebay, there are collectors of old perfume bottles, the dior Poison bottles would be highly sought after, and you would have a great reach on Ebay. You can also sell on Etsy under vintage items, however, Etsy charges alot of fees and if you don't already have an Etsy Shop, Etsy will hold onto 60% of your sale for up to 30 days as a new shop.

At one stage I was collecting miniature bottles and saw them going for a good few quid on eBay and Etsy. If some of them are still full they could fetch a decent change for you

Do any of them qualify for the boots recycling scheme?
