Are you a Philosophy Girl?? Always wanted to try Philosophy but don't want to pay the high prices? Don't know what fair ebay pricing is? This guide is for you!

Hi ladies! I know many of you have families, etc and want to feed your beauty addiction, try new products, etc but need to keep as much of your hard earned money in your pockets as much as possible.

I have been using Philosophy products for a few years now and being the bargain hunter that I am, I simply won't pay retail for anything. I love many Philosophy products and have bought hundreds of items for myself, family and friends on ebay and love watching QVC to see what will be on ebay next! I frequently see QVC prices being about the same as ebay or even lower due to people trying to make a buck on here. Do yourself a  favor and price check before thinking something is a good deal just because the seller says so or assume it is due to being on ebay.

While many Philosophy resellers can offer good deals and there are many wonderful Philosophy Girls on ebay; I have noticed many people offering Philosophy that do not realize what average pricing is and tend to list items too high for the ebay market. Likewise I have seen new Philosophy ebay buyers pay way too much for things because they simply do not know better. Be careful of sellers stating RARE, SOLD OUT, FULL SIZE, LARGE SIZE, ETC! I frequently find this to be inaccurate!

I thought I would make a list of the products I frequently see and the common ebay prices they can be bought for. Some products are just more common than others; this effects ebay pricing. When I use the word *total* that includes shipping. Keep in mind the larger the bottle, the better deal overall you usually get. Smaller bottles generally retail at higher per ounce prices. Note; 1 oz of the Hope moisturizer is $28, but the 2oz is only $38. This is double the amount for only $10 more. When I give the average ebay selling price, anything a few dollars under that would be considered an abnormally good deal on ebay. Likewise, if you get in a bidding frenzy or see offers with higher prices, you will know to keep looking.

Below you will see the retail price for the size listed and then the good / common ebay pricing amount. Remember; ebay prices I give below INCLUDE shipping to compare to the retail pricing!
