Totally cracked me up!! Just brilliant. Doing the tours and personal shopper option have already crossed my mind more than once. Ebay is definitely a life saver currently, both for buying/selling. But, man, I've thoroughly underestimated the benefits of gambling! Thanks, all! It's been a hoot. Thanks, everybody, for your ideas! Totally cracked me up!! Just brilliant.

If we could swallow our pride and put any vestige of good taste out of our minds for a few days, I'll b we could come up with some real good merchandise for these markets.

I have friends who play poker for real money, but it's not the big bucks, and I am terrible at cards and all other forms of gambling. What does that leave? Just like Elle above, I made all those "bad" choices early - the artsy education, the lack of ruthlessness in business, no sugar daddy, etc. If only I had no moral compass, sigh.... I do have one brilliant business idea, though - I would like to be the owner of a really swank old-school nightclub, the best in town, with only the finest in entertainment, food & drink - with one difference. No smoking! And I would encourage everyone to wear plenty of their finest perfume, in defiance of all the fragrance-free restrictions going around these days. I, of course, would lead the way, being the gracious hostess dressed in elegant gowns and opera gloves, with clouds of Carnal Flower or A La Nuit drifting around me, channeling Ava Gardner....a girl has to dream, no?

I bet if we rounded up all 600 or so from our parents' basements, we could make a pretty penny on eBay. I'd love to be included in the drawing - it's one of my biggest sample lemmings!

Very nice! My BF is a former packrat. We had a few big rummage sales and I used my share of the profits to buy perfume. I love powdery perfumes. You should do an article about the best powdery perfumes. Thanks! I just discovered your blog. Very nice!

I felt that I needed larger size bottles to fully experience the fragrances (trial sizes NEVER entered my mind). Hence, I have amassed quite the collection of unused fragrances. E-Bay can help me continue my addiction. By selling my full-sized perfumes that I have accumulated over the years (on E-Bay) .
