Women making dough with their clothes…on!

I read a couple of articles talking about how women are making money in this tough economy.  Now now now, don’t get ahead of yourself and assume you know what.  Women are selling their clothes to other women.  The way it works is that a woman will invite her friends over to check out her clothes which are usually on display in a room in the “seller’s” home.  Some “sellers’ hang up their clothes on racks like stores do and provide bags to take home your goodies.  You must remember that your purchases are final sales, no returns.  So why would a woman want to buy used clothes from her friends.  Well, you could get a good deal on barely used clothing or couture items (depending on your friend’s style).  Perhaps you can convince your best friend that her Louis Vuitton purse is so out of style and sell it to you at a bargain.

Related, some women are doing clothing swaps in their homes instead of selling their clothes.  I can see this being more attractive since all women can participate and exchange clothes with one another.

Could this idea be applied to other things?  Toys?  Tools?  Pantry items?
