I have the Coach legacy striped heart lip gloss charm and I like it a lot (you can see it in my avatar) so I was interested when I recently came across the silver solid perfume hangtag charm on ebay. I must have missed them when they came out because I probably would have purchased one.
You can see NIB pics of the charm at the link below (NMA):

The new ones are going for around $50 on ebay, but I came across a used one with a very low starting price and an auction description that said "the perfume is OLD and GROSS, still smells nice though!"
That made me laugh and it also appealed to my rehabbing spirit! Plus I had received a Dremel hand power tool to polish metal from my DH as one of my Christmas presents (dstalksalot had recommended it for polishing hardware.) I figured that the perfume charm would be a great "starter project" to learn how to use my new Dremel.
I entered a modest bid and was pleasantly surprise when I won! I had a couple of "ebay bucks" to spend so I only paid a total of $7.08 for the charm including shipping!
The perfume really was "old and gross" and the charm was nicked and covered with tiny scratches from use and there was a big, deep scratch on the back.
I should have taken some before pics but I've attached the auction pic. I will tell you about finding a solid perfume refill in the next message.
