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

[i-leonardo.livejournal.com]

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 !

Seconding Buffalo Exchange. Try not to go on a weekend. It helps if you dress trendy and put on some weird accessories when you sell. (Don't go in your gym clothes.)

It's nice that you're doing this for your friend, because you kinda have to have thick skin to sell your clothes at place like Buffalo. It's totally hit or miss. Sometimes they don't buy stuff that I think is right up their alley. Other times I see crap on their racks that is shrunken, pilly and ugly.
