Did you ever buy something and then not know what to do with it? [View all]

The non-profit thrift shop where I volunteered for many years closed recently. All clothing and housewares was donated to Savers, the furniture was sold to dealers in a fairly local co-op. When everything was closed and done with, all that was left was the box of costume jewelry.
Two times a year we would have a jewelry sale. Whatever we thought was good was compared with similar(or same) items on eBay, tagged with the eBay price, put in a hatbox and saved for the sale. Just before sale time, we would re-ticket the items at out T/shop price. The obvious gold and silver was put in the small case to be sold. Everything else(not the junk) was put aside for the sale.

In a spirit of goodwill, I offered the manager a good price for the stuff in the box. I had not seen the contents in months. She passed the offer to the powers that be. The offer was accepted. I now have a huge lot of good to great costume jewelry and I don't know what to do with it. I did not know how much was set aside but when I picked it up and paid, I was flabbergasted.

My thought before I bought this stuff was to sell it on eBay. I have never done eBay but---

Never did I expect to have about 300 pieces. This is good costume jewelry. Major names, no plastic junk.
Any ideas? No way do I want to do the eBay route. I took a quick look, too complicated and time consuming, not for me.
This lot of goods needs a dealer with a good size display case.

This huge lot sits in my living room. I avoid facing the project. There is too much to consign to one of the local shops. No way to keep track of it. I need to sell it outright.

How do I get myself into these situations?????
