I cannot disclose my place of employment because I am not authorized to represent our company, but this morning we had a very significant break in where the thieves stole tens of thousands' worth of designer clothing.

I already found two suspicious Craigslist postings, where even if it wasn't my merchandise... it's definitely stolen merchandise, and I've forwarded these listings to the detectives working on our case.

Are there any auction sites or places where professional eBayers go to buy lots to resell? Any search tips?

Fortunately, they stole some exclusive items not sold in our area.

Any tips? I was very inspired by the tPFer that recovered some stolen goods from her home, via eBay!

OH MY... ebay/bonz/CL definitely some of the top 3. Also repeatedly google some of the more "exclusive items" taken. Daily. Search at least the top 10 pages.
Other sites to consider would be overstock auctions, yahoo auctions, sell.com, ioffer.com, ubid... what else, girls??
Unfortunately, many times when someone steals clothing, they already have a private party lined up who will purchase.... and that could be a store in another state/country or an auction site. Depends on how clever your thieves were.

Advise if there are specific "unusual" items we need to be on the look-out for.

SUCKS...so sorry!!

Don't forget any local consignment stores or even pawn shops.
