Failed Amazon Store

Hi everyone,
My buddy and I started an Amazon store to sell home goods and it failed. Well, we gave up on it 6 months in. We finally started making sales but got too spooked by the cost of ads and storage adding up and pulled all of our product out of Amazon into my garage. Now we’re obviously in the hole and I just don’t know what to do with all of my product. We did a lot of research and bought about 1k units of our first item, we have about 950 left. The profit margin is great on these like I said we got spooked after a few months of not turning a profit.

Anyone have any advice for what I can do to make back a little bit of our initial investment? We’re in the hole $13.5k or so in total after all Amazon expenses etc., so it’s manageable debt. Spent about $8 per unit and they sell for $20 on the low end, $40 on the high.

I’m based in Colorado if anyone is interested in purchasing the lot, obviously willing to make a killer deal, but also looking for other places I can sell. I’m happy to just handle shipping at home too. Thanks in advance!

Edit: I just want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I’m actually shocked by the compassion and kindness you’ve shown me, and it’s motivating me more than I’ve felt in a long time. I feel like it’s rare to find this much kindness on the internet these days so I appreciate you and I’m rooting for your success!

Help me identify this plate set!

Hi everyone!
I just found my dream plate set at a garage sale. Paid $10 for the large plate set and $10 for the small set. I am just over the moon they’re so whimsical and beautiful. When I did a reverse image search, Google was trying to convince me that these were the Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica plates but the back of the plates clearly says Hutschenreuther, and Bavaria, Germany. My guess is that these are a recreation of the Royal Copenhagen set or something like that. Can anyone help me figure out what I just bought?
