Avon had some very amazing Glass makers that manufactured their wonderful Perfume and After Shave Bottles and their other glassware! Although their are "Billions and Billions" of Avon Perfume Bottles ect... out there, people hearing they aren't worth anything will eventually throw them in the trash and one day, who knows when, Avon perfume bottles will become rare. Could take quite a few years but who knows. Lol I love their Bottles!
Avon collectibles, wow! They made buying gifts for Dad and brother easier…they had something for every hobby or sport. Can you consider making the Snoopy mug your next giveaway please?! I’d love to own it and I have to win someday!!
Brings back memories of going with my dad as a kid to Michelangelo's flea market Sunday mornings where he was always on the lookout for ones to add to his Avon collection. I'm always on the lookout for a Collie one nowadays.
I have an Avon Pink Panther toothbrush holder and 2 toothbrushes in the original celephane bag and box. I love Pink Panther and only paid a couple of bucks for it. Avon had some cool bottles.
I have a soft spot for the Avon stuff too. I know you usually deal in midcentury items, but have you ever come across California Perfume Company products? They morphed into Avon. I dig bottles from them sometimes. Some Avon items are so vintage that people are beginning to dig them from old dumps too. Congrats, Gina!
I was really hoping you would tell us how the colognes smell now, after sitting in those bottles for 50 years. 😊 I dread to speculate. Congratulations Gina!
I can tell you that the various colognes and aftershaves in my Avon chess pieces are probably at or around that vintage, and they still smell great! Well, in a "1970s dad" way, at least.
I have the avon..... 1. Solid green sweet honesty frog... because my mom had one in the 70s 2.Toadstool perfume bottle because I like 70s. mushrooms 3. Gingerbread perfume bottle because I had that in the 70s. 4. A cool purple Chevy van perfume bottle with stickers still in the box that you can decorate your van with.. my dad was in a van club in the 70s and we had a real orange van named tequila sunrise so it reminded me of that. But I LOVE some avon pieces for the MEMORIES!
I absolutely LOVE that this video resonates with you. OMG the purple van!!!!! I've seen it. I want it. It is fun stuff and it is whimsical and often weird. I also remember having a floating rubber frog soapdish that was Avon. Wild.
Yeah it takes a while to understand what people buy but here's what I have learned sells: Hand made pottery Hand blown glass Hand painted art MCM Danish Modern Hand Carved iconic Brands unusual stuff Oddball stuff whimsical stuff anything mushroom spaceage stuff
I've left 3 comments. I'm long windeded. Forgive me. But I loved AVON! They had some very cool jewelry pieces as well. Quality pieces that didn't turn your skin green.
Threw away boxes and boxes FULL of these cologne bottles. They stink. Not worth it to me to sit around listing Avon bottles. Also, I'm sure you already know, but if you see an eBay sale which was just one bid, it's possibly a fake comp (definitely is if it's a ridiculous price). I think they can do it with Buy It Now items to, and you'll find the same item re-listed at that fake sale price.

I don't care what anybody says, I still think Avon had some pretty cool items. The ones you showed today were pretty unique. Have a great week, John.

I have wanted to do an AVON episode for a long time. I always felt a bit weird for getting excited about them when the have a low monetary value
@@midmodmoney I am glad you did. The ones you showed were have never seen before.
That snoopy mug is where it’s at!!
Agreed! Already had someone ask if it could be a future givaway item.
Avon collectibles, wow! They made buying gifts for Dad and brother easier…they had something for every hobby or sport. Can you consider making the Snoopy mug your next giveaway please?! I’d love to own it and I have to win someday!!
Ha. I love it. I am always glad when a video brings the nostalgia. Thanks for watching.
Avon Calling! Mini Bike one reminded me of my Grandpa being in the Bobbie Unit for the Shriners back in the day
Can you believe I didn't say "Avon calling" at any point. That's Un-possible.
Lordy, I miss Chris Farley.
No joke.
Excellent Avon haul John!!
Well, I have been buying these for a couple years now.
Brings back memories of going with my dad as a kid to Michelangelo's flea market Sunday mornings where he was always on the lookout for ones to add to his Avon collection. I'm always on the lookout for a Collie one nowadays.
I'll keep my eyes peeled. I have a feeling this Avon subject will come up again.
I just bought an Avon elephant for my son bc he collects elephants. It’s really cute & he loved it. I got it at a yardsale for 50 cents
There is one of those in the box at my local Goodwill priced at $4.00 and I WANT IT!!!
Don’t know anything about Avon. Had no idea the unique cologne containers weren’t worth much. They’re all neat!
I guess there are so many out there it keeps the price low
I have the chief, owl, lantern.
Nice.
I have an Avon Pink Panther toothbrush holder and 2 toothbrushes in the original celephane bag and box. I love Pink Panther and only paid a couple of bucks for it.
Avon had some cool bottles.
I am keeping my eye out for that. Thanks.
Had never seen the majority of the bottles you were showing. Very cool!
Thanks sickofcrap.
😏😏😏😏Keep in mind at some point back in history people thought an empty Lalique bottle was just garbage unless it was refillable.
Sitting on a goldmine over here.
Congrats, Gina!!
Indeed.
I love the Steelers bottle. I have never seen one like that! 💛🖤
que up Renegade.
Avon stuff was always cool😊
Most definitely.
Hello John Evan’s 🎉
DSS,
Thanks for watching.

Interesting. Hot tip on the Calif perfume company. thanks.

It's a real big mistake to try to open these up. If any of it gets anywhere, you are screwed.
I found a lot Avon in boxes at a church donation sale. That's the way I love to find them. I'm not sure I have any as cool as yours! Fun show!
Thank you so much for watching.
I have the avon.....
1. Solid green sweet honesty frog... because my mom had one in the 70s
2.Toadstool perfume bottle because I like 70s. mushrooms
3. Gingerbread perfume bottle because I had that in the 70s.
4. A cool purple Chevy van perfume bottle with stickers still in the box that you can decorate your van with.. my dad was in a van club in the 70s and we had a real orange van named tequila sunrise so it reminded me of that. But I LOVE some avon pieces for the MEMORIES!

@@midmodmoney I think some of the avon kitchen collection items were awful though. 😁 especially in the 80s. 🤮
They jumped the shark there.
These are fun, I would pick them up! I get it ❤
Totally!
Interesting about the Avon! I have plenty to list on eBay, then!
You should. I obviously underestimated the value of a few of them.
I love your esthetic. I have terrible luck selling stuff, though.
Yeah it takes a while to understand what people buy but here's what I have learned sells:
Hand made pottery
Hand blown glass
Hand painted art
MCM
Danish Modern
Hand Carved
iconic Brands
unusual stuff
Oddball stuff
whimsical stuff
anything mushroom
spaceage stuff
Somwtimes Avon gets a bad rap. Ty for sharing.
I think they are so unique and cool
Everything I’ve ever had of Avon has sold out of my booth (!!). 50 cents to $10. Is an ok profit.
Ok. Now we're talkin'
Fun shapes!
And lots of them...
Congratulations on the win
😊

They had some very cool jewelry pieces as well.
Quality pieces that didn't turn your skin green.
They did have some cool jewelry. Avon MUST HAVE done one of those large owl necklaces.
I have totes full of Avon from my mom
#SkinSoSoft
The #1 item from Avon for resell is the Avon Christmas Advent wall calendar. Sells for $100+.
That's a hot tip! Thanks!
Love it!

Precisely. We picked the kitty cat comp with 16 bids for that very reason :)
Where is your contact info?? I want to buy some items Ive seen if you still have them!
It's at the beginning and at the end of the video.
