[quote=Anonymous]I have an idea, inspired by the classic DCUM thread: [b]"I have a ton of higher end baby items to sell - how to do this most efficiently?"[/b]

[quote] "In my ideal world I’d find an honest seeming woman who go could come over on a nice day and hang out for a while on our driveway / porch while I brought things out one by one and we determined a reasonable low price for what she wants - and most of what she didn’t want I’d just donate.

Is this a pipe dream? Anyone know of how I might find such a lady? Or is there a better way to easily and quickly sell baby gear?

I live in Arlington btw."[/quote]

A later poster suggested: [quote]"Are you offering to pay her? You could hire someone to do this and she could pretend to buy things."[/quote]

No shade, maybe this could actually work for your mom. You could contact your local actor's union or the drama department at a nearby college/the community theater, and hire a few people to pose as "buyers" who "can't wait to buy all this valuable stuff" and in that way, get it all out of your house. You would, of course, have to provide the $$$, but it would be efficient and it would make her happy. [/quote]
