    It may be a good idea to keep a roll of drum liner size trash bags in the van for when your carts aren't big enough. They're pretty sturdy and would hold quite a bit of clothing while keeping it clean.

    Sell the hangers as a lot or sell WITH the pants hanging on them, don’t throw them out. Good move on the 3% deal.

    I always love your store buyout videos.. I bought out 2 family video stores one had 1,000 pieces for $250 and one had 500 pieces for $250... Had tons of Box sets and blu rays.. I am sure it has already paid for itself at my store in the past 10 days.. I have been selling most at about a $7 average..

    They left over 1100 boxes of unopened cards, baseball, basketball, football, and some hockey..
    Also tons of sealed sets,card supplies like cases and ball holders.
    I will be selling all of it but I am keeping a case of 1989 Upper Deck baseball Ken Griffey jr.1st card and 4 different types of basketball cards that have Lebron James.1st cards and Wade and Carmello and many others..
    Boxes that have Mike Trout rookie cards...
    Just stacks of boxes..
    These buildings will be knocked down.and a brand new ice rink and training facility will be built for athletes that wanna train and possibly take there playing seriously and possibly a career.

    Size 4 pants ... no wonder those were left. (LOL) I'd definitely put the small sizes on line first for a while, and then put the remainders in the warehouse sale. (ain't no size double extra-bitty women in MY house, for sure!) BTW- if you get women's size 11 shoes (12 in sneakers) and larger or really bitty ones, be sure and advertise so us bigfoots and the tinies can clean you out. Finding tiny size clothes is fairly easy; finding "overs and unders" in shoes is NOT.

    I use to buy Christopher and Banks clothes when they had their season sales/clearance during summer time. They were too expensive to buy otherwise. They use to be good quality clothing but years later they changed and didn't have as good of clothes. And yes, some were for older women, which I wasn't, as I was in my 30's. Sad to see another store go down the tubes. I honestly haven't been to a regular indoor mall for many many years. I have to say though I throughly enjoy watching these store buyouts you do!!!
