My mom had a nasty habit of collecting designer handbags (Louis Vuitton) when I was growing up. I never thought anything of it since I was not allowed to stick my nose in my mom's finances (respect issues). However, now that I realized how much she's collected over the years, and how much debt she built up (nearly all gone thanks to my help), it's stupid/crazy (10's of thousands). Every time I bring up why she has so much, she claims that they go up in value over time and she loves them. Problem is, who the hell will buy it once they are used, even if they are perfect like the day it came from the store? She's come to terms and accepted that it was stupid and she would like to sell them now. She is very meticulous about her things, so they are all in just about perfect condition (no signs of wear whatsoever, original tags/receipts, you get the picture....). How can I help her sell these? For handbags that are not yet discontinued, Louis Vuitton sells them for more than doubled what she paid 10 years ago. eBay seems like a hassle to sell due to authenticity issues and Craigslist is not a place for designer items. Any ideas?
TIA!
