Subject is not for resale

[yvonnreit-3]

I got this Christmas present for from a family member and I really don't like the perfume and I want to know if I can resell it it says not for resale so I would like to know if I can sell it because I don't like the perfect in a consignment shop

Considering what you have invested, just give it away.

Not for resale means exactly that.

Not a good idea.

"Not for resale" is a maningless phrase used to discourage retailers from selling items they were given as promotional items.  Say you buy a large widget A and the vendor includes a small widget B to hand out to your customer as an added incentive to purchase widget A. Those smaller items are often marked "not for resale".  But of course it has no legal meaning, although a vendor might cut you, the retailer, off if they catch you selling or advertising the item. I have sold many an item on Ebay marked "not for resale".  Of course when dealing with a fashion brand the company might complain to Ebay regarding VERO regardless of right or wrong.

Bingo.  It has zero meaning to an individual who receives the item with the marking, it just means that the vendor or distributor is not allowed to sell the item for profit.  I used to work at Gamestop and we would frequently receive boxes of bonus items like soundtrack CDs, keychains, etc. to give out to people who bought a particular game.  We weren't allowed to sell those items; they were given to us by the manufacturer to be given away for free as a promotion.  However, if someone who bought a game and received one of those items then wanted to go on and sell it, they would be free to.

The "not for resale" you see means that was a promotional freebie gift with another purchase.  It means that it can't be sold in the store alone, it can only be given away when the other item is purchased.

It does not apply to the grey or third party marketplace, but as another poster mentioned, the brand company might get their knickers in a twist and file a VERO notice.

You can sell it. “Not for resale” has nothing to do with you, the individual. It is neither illegal or against eBay policy to sell that item here.

Usually when an item is marked not for resale, it was probably a promotional item or a store display.

It pretty much means that the retail store can't sell it.

"Not for resale means exactly that."

No, it doesn't.

When I said not a good idea, I was thinking of the VERO side of it.

Perfume is flammable.

So you couldn't ship it unless you use Ground.

One of the lines Teachers use dot give us in school many years ago applies to most of these question.  When we would ask 'Can I go to the bathroom?'  The reply was '  Well, at your age, I certainly hope you can, but you may not'.  The difference was ability versus permission.

You probably 'can' list it, but it may be pulled and your account sanctioned if the designer brand says you do not have permission to.

When in doubt, leave it out.

Give it to someone for Valentine's Day or a birthday.

Then again, to know that you don't like it, does that mean you've opened it?  If so, that adds to the problem since you can't sell opened perfumes.

[sam9876]

"you can't sell opened perfumes"

False.

As a buyer if I received an item that was not meant for resale, you would get a big negative for it.

And I am sure the Vero member would not appreciate it.
