I don't see an issue really with either of these as there are many folks who might want an empty bottle or a box without product. The postage would be the killer here. Yes, with a little shopping around you can get a bottle that you have to empty yourself for just a little more, but spin the sales pitch around and you've had that tedious work done for you already!
You can, quite literally, sell your rubbish ...
Most of us give it away for free (in our bins) for companies to make a mint off us; and we pay for the priviledge. If we scaled up our recycling collections, for example, we could sell direct. I've said it to a few "woke kids", there's nothing environmental about recycling - it's only about money.
Anyway, that's an aside ...
In the past, when I had a glut of vintage to sell I manipulated my auction visits by listing an empty bottle of Pinaud Lilac Vegetal (which "you can refill with your own piss") and it went mini-viral around the shaving forums. Naturally, I got a better than usual footfall for my other listings.

I've never smelt it but this must be the quote of the day!

I agree that there are plenty of folk out there who actually want empty packaging for one reason or another.
Check on eBay for empty Hifi boxes as they can make a huge difference on the selling price.

I splash it (the "Veg") on liberally prior to each bout when at Fencing competitions. It's my twisted good-luck charm ... and gives my opponents a good reason not to come close!
