Hello,

Some of you like and make collection of vintage giant factice dummys?

I ask this question because I found some that are for sale but do not know the market value of these products.

They are in excellent condition and asked me about 25 euros for each one.

Those that are available for sale are:

Escada Pour Homme;

Safari for men;

Giorgio Beverly Hills for men;

V.I.P. Giorgio Beverly Hills for men;

Eau de Rochas pour homme;

Boss Elements;

Gucci Nobile;

Gucci pour homme (classic);

Moschino Vice Versa;

Fahrenheit.

I would like to know your opinion and what is the real value of these factices.

Thanks in advance,

On Ebay, the Factice bottles sometime sell for more than the "Real" bottles! To get a good idea of what they go for, go to both Ebay and Etsy. On Ebay, be sure to look at both current and sold bottles.

Re-upping this thread for a silly question, I've been gifted a 125 ml factice of Quorum by Puig (big fan!), I honestly don't know what to do with that, do you think it would be worth trying to sell it? :D I honestly barely know these things exist and I have no clue about their value.

(actually it was not a "gift", it was more like "pick that, it's yours if you want it", and I did)

Hi Colin,

I collect these giant bottles and currently have about twenty.

The Quorum factice is not one to have more value in the market, but it is an interesting bottle.

Some of them only have colored water, but others come with the original perfume.

And I have for example Fahrenheit, Paco Rabanne PH and Safari, with one liter of the original fragrance.

I buy these bottles for collecting and decorating the bathrooms of my house.

From what I have this one is what I like most,

In response to your question I can tell you that some of these bottles reach very high values ​​on ebay.

If you like your stay with her, or you can try to sell it and earn good money.

Take this opportunity to tell you that I greatly admire your reviews here in the forum and your knowledge of perfumes.

Best regards,

mdclx

Thank you really much for your information and for sharing your experience - and your super nice words, I blushed! This looks like an intriguing "sub-field" of fragrances, I was not even aware factices existed... while in fact it must be cool to decorate the house with those, I would have never thought of that. Your Medusa bottle is marvellous!
