Hey there! Listen
I stumbled on this goldmine a while back, and I had to share it. It all started when my grandma, bless her soul, always had the nose of a bloodhound when it came to a bargain. One day, after dragging me through a maze of discount stores with questionable lighting, we stumbled upon a hidden gem tucked away in the corner of a dusty plaza. It looked like any other discount store from the outside, but inside, it was a treasure trove of forgotten merchandise.
We were sifting through racks of mismatched socks when a display of colognes caught my eye. The bottles looked legit – familiar brands with fancy packaging, but the price tags? Practically criminal! Now, I’m no fragrance connoisseur, but even I knew these were way below retail.
Curiosity piqued, I grabbed a bottle of a cologne with a name I recognized and spritzed it on my wrist.
The scent was divine – fresh and sophisticated, exactly what I’d expect from a high-end brand.
Grandma, ever the skeptic, did some quick online research.
Turns out, the store was a liquidation outlet for overstocked or discontinued designer items.
Jackpot! We walked out of there with a bag full of designer fragrances for a fraction of the price.
That night, the lightbulb went off. People would love the chance to snag these amazing deals,
so I started listing them online.
And that, my friends, is the origin story of my discount fragrance hustle!
Anyway, I realized there were these amazing deals on brand name colognes and perfumes. We’re talking stuff you see at department stores for hundreds of bucks, but I was getting them for way less.
It was like a lightbulb went off! I knew people would love the chance to snag these high-end fragrances without breaking the bank. So, I started listing them on Facebook Marketplace and eBay.
Now, I wouldn’t call myself a perfume mogul by any means, but it’s been a pretty sweet side hustle. On average, I can make around 60 bucks profit per bottle, and depending on the month, I can move anywhere from 20 to 40 bottles.
It’s not a fortune, but it’s definitely some extra cash that comes in handy, you know? Plus, I love the thrill of the hunt, finding these great deals and getting them into the hands of people who appreciate them.
Of course, there’s some work involved. Taking good pictures, writing clear descriptions, and dealing with buyers can take some time. But honestly, it’s fun! It’s like a mini treasure hunt every time I score a new batch of discounted fragrances.
