Finding the value of Avon Collectibles

Finding the value of Avon Collectibles- Do-it-yourself or Collector Price Guides ?

Tips for “Do-it-Yourselfers”
For those who want to do their own research, the internet can be a vast source of information. A good rule of thumb is to find 3 or more examples of the item you are researching to get a general idea of the current value of your item. This is an option if the items are items you are researching are generally available online. This method also works offline by frequenting shops, auctions, etc that carry similar items.We are aware that many of our visitors have used our online shop to research some of the collectibles they own. For this reason we are often asked by visitors about the value of other items they own, or if their items are not considered collectible simply because we do not carry them. We carry a few hundred of the tens of thousands of Avon Collectibles that were ever produced, so while you might by chance find an item you are researching online, including Avon Collectibles on Ebay ((paid link)) , you also might not. Most items however will eventually show up somewhere online.

      1. Hello Jennifer I know it’s like 3 and a half years later ,however; I’ve recently acquired several avon bottles and other glass pieces that I am interested in selling . I’d like to sell them all together rather than trying to sell them individually. If by chance you are still interested you can contact me and I can send you pictures and other details .

  4. I have a set of 8 desert places
    7 glasses
    8 bowles
    1 pitcher

    on the bottom in raised clear glass is the word FRANCE
    each piece is numbered
    on the outside is a 24 k gold Pansies with the name J Walsh

    I believe this to be a hostess gift to a long time Avon Rep. several years.
    Do you have any information about this Hostess set.
    Please forward to me. Thanks Judy
