I did this a few times on craigslist a long time ago. I went to thrift stores and took pictures of stuff on the shelves, listed them for sale at a decent markup and when people wanted them I went and bought them. If it was already sold, I would tell them they just missed it. It ended up being not worth the effort for me, but it was fun for a few weeks.

a seriously troubled neighbor here would go to thrift stores, buy armloads of stuff.. way too much.. list it on a half dozen platforms, and then used Facebook to promote her 'sale' to friends of friends.. She generated some income, but fell to hoarding at the same time.. also serious "spend-a-holic" patterns were reinforced .. not completely over and it has been at least five years of this..
