elisemI've been sorting out my various collections of perfumes (it's a collection if it's alphabetized or otherwise organized; if not, it's just a happy hoard) and have accumulated a lot of things in the Go-Away Box, so it is time for the great grab bag adventure.
SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM BECAUSE I GOT ALL SORTY ON THINGS. WHEE! New offer is up at https://elisem.dreamwidth.org/1953749.html
Here are my offerings:
1. GRAB BAGS PROPER: For $20 you will get at least two dozen scents (my choice, no requests) to play with in the form of partial or full sample vials. Some may be aged. Oh, heck, most will be aged. The BPAL holds its scent nicely over time, as does the Possets; the Nocturne Alchemy, not so reliable there, but some are gorgeous. There are a few commercial perfume samples mixed in. There may be 5 ml bottles mixed in as well, in varying degrees of fullness from sample to almost full. Postage is INCLUDED in this.
2. SPECIFIC COMPANIES GRAB BAGS: Tell me what company or companies to stick to, and I will build you a $20 grab bag with at least two dozen scents (my choice, no requests) to play with in the form of partial or full sample vials and/or bottles. Postage is INCLUDED in this.
3. SPECIFIC SCENT GRAB BAGS: Tell me something you are specifically looking for and I'll tell you if I have it available. We'll build a grab bag from there, at a price you agree with. Postage is INCLUDED in this.
About shipping: I'll ship either by USPS Priority mail or USPS First Class mail. Let me know if you have preferences. Going First Class means I can afford to tuck another scent or three in there. This whole thing is a way for me to try out some shipping and packaging options, as well as to send treasures out to have new adventures.) Unfortunately, I can only ship to US addresses right now. (If any US people are willing to act as agents for people outside the US and handle shipping from there, please feel free to give your contact info in the comments.)
About condition: These imps and bottles might be scuffed or otherwise knocked about, been in non-optimal temperature situations, et cetera. Some have probably lost their potency, especially the non-BPAL stuff. This offer is for adventurous yet easygoing sorts, I guess.
About swaps: I have waaaaay too many things to be looking for swaps, although I am interested in samples of the various Nocturne Alchemy Ankhs if you have some. Other than that, I do sometimes trade for beads, depending on the beads. Or musical instruments.
PayPal preferred, but other payment may be possible; let me know what works for you.
Is there anything else useful to know?
Edited to add: If you would rather email me at my gmail address, I am lionesselise there. Please put something in the subject line about perfume grab bags, and do poke me if I don't reply quickly, as sometimes things get missed. Thanks!
Edited again to add: If you want a bigger grab bag, adding another $10 will get you a dozen more samples to play with. Or $20 more gets you 2 dozen more, $30 more gets you 3 dozen more, et cetera.
Edited again again to add: For those of you who like trying prototypes, you might check out the Amanda Palmer t-shirts I've listed on eBay, which have freebies that go with them. Here's one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185695398561
Edited again again again to add: Make sure you've read the section above about condition. I probably had better be more blunt, too: expect at least one or two of these to unexpectedly suck. That's why I'm putting so many in there, to make up for the odd one or two that maybe aged into scentlessness. (Wow, Autocarrot does not like that word no matter how I spell it.) Like I said, it's a wild ride, full of adventure and the occasional unexpected meh space. (OK, I will stop fretting and get on with filling little boxes with treasure.)
Edited to add: I got all sorty on things, so I'm re-doing this as a series of themed packages, which I will post here as soon as I have a few to begin with. (Yes, sorting perfume is soothing to me, much the way that sorting beads is.)
