Well, Opie and the other boys went door to door with the Miracle Salve - temporarily and unsuccessfully. Of course, it seems like all they ever got out of their mouths was "Ma'am (or Sir) would you like to buy some - " and then the door would slam!!! But at the end of the episode, didn't Barney and Gomer have to go try to get rid of that huge shipment they had received at Andy's house? I think we just saw them going out the door calling out "Salve!" (if memory serves correctly). And Opie and Howie (or was it Arnold?) tried to sell their newspapers (which was not a success) and caused a tremendous stir when they gave everyone the edition with all the gossip in it. BONUS: This is of course not door-to-door "sales", but didn't Opie and Arnold go door to door to try to find a good home for the baby they found? They had good intentions and were trying to help but I think a few people were shocked - Miss Crump for one!! :) (My response isn't completely on-target, but these are the things I thought of while answering.)
