Selling Costume Jewelry?

I have been buying Paparazzi jewelry for over a year. I am not a consultant and need to sell some of it because I have entirely too much. Where can I resell it?

There is a boatload for sale online so that is probably not the best place since supply is high and that is going to drive prices down.

Your best bet is a flea market or yard sale or a consignment store.

If you decide to do online sales, don't be surprised if people hassle you about it. Their independent consultants have rules about online sales...their bylaw state in #5.10 Online Activity..Independent Consultants may not use any online forum (eBay, classifieds, Craigslist, or any other online retail tool) to bundle, distribute, or sell Paparazzi products.

I have found people are very unkind sometimes and don't believe you are not an affiliate. Not worth the hassle in my opinion for such low resale values.

Selling personal Paparazzi jewelry can be a real hassle if you try to sell on any of the popular auctions sites and the price you can ask is very limited as most pieces are still available from consultants for the prices set by the company.

You really need to do a lot of research before trying to sell your items as so many listings are pulled down from almost every website.
When researching, it will be difficult to always tell if the site is giving advice about 'personal' items or as a consultant so read carefully.

Try Google with all kinds of questions:
where can I sell personal Paparazzi jewelry?
problems selling Paparazzi jewelry online?
what can I charge for Paparazzi jewelry?

Take PGHgirl's advice and sell other than online.

Paparazzi Accessories started with sisters Misty and Chani and their passion evolved into the MLM business with their husbands. Paparazzi Accessories (also known as Paparazzi Jewelry) was established in 2010 in Hurricane, Utah (their headquarters is still located there). This company is known for their unique jewelry and accessories which are very affordable.

All of these businesses offer their representative to consultants the opportunity to make a profit by selling jewelry directly to their friends, relatives, neighbors, etc. The profits are made when reps purchase wholesale jewelry from the business and then sell it to others at a marked up price. Most jewelry MLMs require that their reps first purchase starter packages that enable them to enroll in the business and give them some product to sell. And as I understand it, they cannot choose the assortment of the purchased package, at least not always.

According to Paparazzi Policies and Procedures, consultants cannot advertise items using the Paparazzi logo for more than $ 5 unless it says plus tax (same thing for the $ 1 items), except for those in the Zi Collection - these are priced at $ 25.

Consultants are also not allowed to sell these items for less than $ 1 or $ 5. Consultant Paparazzi Accessories earns $ 2.25 per sale from their $ 5 products. It's a decent commission, but as I understand it, there are a lot of such consultants.

As you can imagine, consultants are investing enough money in this business, and I'm not sure if it is easy for them to sell all these jewelry. Therefore, so that you do not have problem, it is better not to write that you have Paparazzi Accessories. As I understand it, you bought these jewelry for your own use and wore them. This means that you have removed the labels. So sell your jewelry without labels and without specifying that it is Paparazzi Jewelry. But it is best to sell them this way among acquaintances and not online.

You would most likely receive the most $ if you sell through Ebay or Etsy. You might also sell it thru Facebook Marketplace.

If you sell locally on the Facebook Marketplace, there is no fee.

I see people selling Paparazzi jewelry on Facebook. It is my understanding that the pieces are only $5. What I would do is sell it in bundles of similar jewelry. Maybe you have a matching necklace, bracelet and earrings. I would price that set at about $10, which is a savings from the original price. Don't forget there will be a shipping charge, unless you sell it for local pick up. Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are good places for that. Ebay would be better if you are trying to reach a greater audience. If you go that route, I would probably batch the jewelry in bigger batches.

Good luck!

Hello, I saw your post about looking for a good place to sell or donate your costume jewelry. I would be a great place to donate to if youre so inclined. I make vintage jewelry mosaics out of 100% recycled materials. My goal is to keep old, broken or unwanted jewelry out of our landfills & oceans as it takes 70 years for a piece of jewelry to decompose. I sell my art for a very small amount and often give it away if someone cannot afford it. Please let me know. I will gladly pay shipping. SAVING THE PLANET ONE BROOCH AT A TIME. Kindly, kristin 203.889.6000
