need advice: vast tracts of women's clothing to unload

A relative with a clothes fetish and a changed life circumstance asked me to help her sell off a whole lot of good quality women's clothes (mostly blouses and dresses, size 8 to 14).  If I had, say, 3 or 4 items, I'd take them to a consignment shop, no big deal.  But 10' worth of closet pole is a couple hundred items - waaaaay too many to trot down to a shop for an eval - and I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed.

Anyone got advice for how to manage trying to sell off this kind of volume of clothes ?

Thanks !

Talk to Meredith from Poor Little Rich Girl. I think she buys collections and might be willing to come and look at the clothes on site. A lot of businesses of that type will come to you when there's enough merchandise for it to be worth their while. Anecdotally, I've gotten better return on my money working with PLRG than I have with other stores.
