List of Places to Destash - Beauty & Beyond

[TrysBeautyItems]

We all have stashes and need to destash at some point, of beauty and everything else, let's make a reference list of places for selling or trading. 

This isn't a place to add your items for sale, as that's against BIC.

Feel free to review a place, i.e. what brands sell best, easy to use platform, takes long to sell etc. and/or share tips.

@TrysBeautyItems I've also been able to donate locally to women's shelters, and I know the childrens hospital I work for has overnight respite rooms and shower rooms that they stock with donated toiletries.

I used mercari a lot when it was a beta before the commission kicked in. I have used mercari less frequently after I had an item that I self shipped (much more cost effective!) that I accidentally put in a wrong number in the tracking. Without the option to make it right they marked the item as unable to track/not shipped and cancelled the item based on the assumption that I was trying to fake out tracking rather than the fact that I'm human and missed a number. The whole sale/transaction page option went missing with no way to get paid and the item already sent. It was a big fight with them to get paid, and they made a point that it was a "one time courtesy" to pay me for my item that I proved correct tracking for. I've been very leery to sell there since.

@TrysBeautyItems I have done TSB boxes the last couple years. Today is the deadline for a feeler on a luxury TSB, but haven't gotten much interest so will probably run another midrange box with lux mixed in.

@TrysBeautyItems  I have been using the swap option on the Mysubscriptionaddiction site to trade my excess subscription box items.

@faeriegirl 

Are swaps on My subscription addiction strictly subscription, my excess isn't from boxes necessarily...From looking at listings, not logged in, there's a tag 'from'- Play, Boxycharm etc  assuming that's a drop down choice, or could I chose/type in the brand or multibrand?

@TrysBeautyItems  It is supposed to be just subscription box items but I have seen people list things that aren’t and they modify their item description.

[TrysBeautyItems]

Thanks for the info.
