OMG! I'm glad you're ok..... and I always ship stuff at the local mom and pop shipping place, just because it's less hassle the the post office.

Thanks for caring

I don't know if we have a mom and pop place around here, I'll have to look into that. I really am not going back to that particular post office.

look what I found on ebay! (0 bids

)

Well there you go. There's a whole section of "vintage" and "retro" clothes. Hey, $8 is more than nothin, aye?

Your book could NOT be more incorrect.

Yeah, I sold new and used childrens clothing on ebay for a couple of years and did pretty well with it, you just really have to know your product. "Questionable" would be used, unwashed socks (with a picture of the feet that wore them) or something like that.

people used to try and sell their grimy underwear for fetishists on ebay, so they had to crack down

on that. The rest of it is all good.

You could have a goldmine there, Stacy. If you can't possibly accept having these items around, call it vintage/retro, make sure it has been drycleaned, and go for it on Ebay! The market is also at retro or costume stores in the larger cities, or call the nearest theater troup and ask them if they need retro clothing for their wardrobe. When my aunts died, that is what we did with all the tailored wool suits and coats from the 50's which they had saved.
