Hi All,
Looking for some insight from the community. I have thousands of items to sell and not even close to enough time to list them. I work full time plus EBay on the side. Mainly I have antiques and industrial items. I am looking for someone in Cleveland, Ohio to help list. Any suggestions on locating people like this that want the work. I saw EBay valet but I find the pricing horrible, and god knows where your items go to.

Many here are in the same boat as you... much, much inventory to list, and simply not nearly the time needed to be spent doing that work! And if it's done well, it definitely takes a goodly amount of time to clean and prepare items, take fabulous photos from all angles, take all the measurements from all sides, etc. etc. etc. and then.. actually make up a GOOD listing for the item, with researched price, perhaps history, and to write a good TITLE for the listing that will bring the listing up when potential buyers type in their own search words. And more. And more.
So, what I'm saying is, don't trust this work effort to anybody who doesn't know what the heck they're doing in making listings on eBay! But if they do, why wouldn't they just do all that work for themselves, for stuff they already have on hand or can find to sell here?
To me, getting merchandise prepped and listed IS the work. After that, it's mostly just shipping the sales out.
You might put ads in your local Penny Saver type weekly paper, tack ads on bulletin boards around town, run an ad in your local CraigsList, contact your local high schools to see if any type of jobs offered bulletin boards exist for kids who want to earn some money, etc.
