He is in the process of finding a 'showroom' and is making good money with virtually zero investment.
For the hell of it I clicked my local craigslist baby/kids listing.

First one was, "BABY GIRL CLOTHES, CARSEAT,HIGH CHAIR,BASSINET! - $15 "

You're right, it appears people would rather sell things for nothing than throw them out.
