So you're right - they probably aren't the best call for this situation. I am guessing that you do not have a online or brick and mortar retail operation? For a short-term, liquidate your small lot merchandise solution: 1) eBay - divide up your lot (or not), pull together a creative listing and see what the sort of response you get. It's not exactly the most targeted venue but with their <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/sell/June2009/List5Free/" rel="nofollow">five free listings</a> per month your fees for the whole lot could be $20 or less. 2) Alibaba - get the <a href="http://news.alibaba.com/article/detail/help/100111168-1-free-membership.html" rel="nofollow">free membership</a>, upload up to 50 products and see what comes of it. 3) Craigslist - Free but almost a complete shot in the dark when it comes to selling wholesale. Try posting in a big urban area near you with lots of small retail or breaking up the lot to make the purchase a bit more attractive. Barbara,

I have over 450 pieces of clothing that I need to liquidate, the average price I am selling them at is $1.80 a piece even less and I am talking high end items. They are not returns they are all shelf pulls from high end department stores like Macy's Kohl's Dillards etc..etc... Can you tell me or help me to get rid of this stuff, I do know about liquidation.com but they are to expensive to sell stuff with. If you can help me please let me know, Thanks Barbara Hi my name is Barbara and I don’t kow if you can help me but I am hoping?
