Hi!
I'm moving, and want to sell off my entire store inventory so I don't have to move it. Is there a way to advertise it on one of the forums? I just want to liquidate it all. Then when I get settled, I'll start all over again. I love selling on eBay!

I would take it to a local auction service and have them liquidate it all. Might not get what you want but it will be all gone and you have 1 less thing to contend with before your move..
Fb or cl you are not guarantee it will sell in your allotted time frame you have before your move. then you still have the headache of dealing with it, showing it, etc. while you are planning your move.

You can't use the community here to advertise, I once got in trouble just for offering some free hanging mannequins to anyone who'd pay the postage.
what you could do is have a listing with a title like:
MOVING SALE: Entire eBay INVENTORY MUST GO
Then provide some pictures in an album format, and a description with enough information for the potential buyer to get a good idea what the lot contains and what's new vs used.
Some formats I've seen look like this:
250 pieces consisting of womens and mens clothing. X% are new with tags, and the remainder are in excellent used condition. Sizes range from XS to XXL.
Brands include (list some brands)
Be sure to state whether there's any lingerie in there and if so, make sure it's all new, no used stuff.
State whether there are accessories like scarves, belts, jewelry, accessories and if so, state how many and what brands - a lot of buyers get really ticked off when they buy a large lot and it arrives and 25% of it or more is what they consider filler. So be really clear on this!
After you've taking all the pics you're going to, pack it up in cartons or bins and weigh it and go online to some sites like USPS and UPS etc to determine a range of $ this lot will take to ship. Use your own zip code for the low-end range. Then use a random zip code in a state the furthest away from you for the high-end range. Then use a FLAT RATE fixed price shipping charge for everybody - decide what that should be and if you're going to refund anybody any difference, like if your buyer turns out to be in your own state. I don't recommend you ship anywhere but continental USA. i.e. no Hawaii, or Alaska, or US territories.
If some of your stuff needs washing wash it or donate it. If you donate it, put it in a bag and put a tag on the bag that says FOR BALE
If some of your stuff needs repair - donate it.. Same deal.

I'd say do mystery boxes - but you can't sell them here but other places allow it. Look at the other clothing venues. Depending on where you are CL, FB and Offer up are a possibility but I haven't had any luck using them to reach out to other resellers. Hopefully you'll hve better luck as I'm having a garage sale and then everything else is going to a thrift.
Also you should see if you have a Plato's Closet or consignment shop near you that might buy the clothes - won't be much but something is better than nothing.

Search the words "entire store inventory" on ebay, look at active/sold listings and see how they did it.
