Are the clothes going to charity or some good cause?

My sense is no - she's probably looking to pick out brand name items and re-sell the clothes for cash. What she can't sell she can take to goodwill and get one of those donation reciepts to claim on her taxes.
I certainly would not let a stranger come to my home and pick anything up! It could be a way to gain access to your home and take inventory of the valuable items you have.....so they can plan a robbery later. That stuff happens.

do u really think so? i

do u really think so? i wonder? but if that was happening it would be on that person. the donater would be giving out of their heart. if they needed the things that would be so cool to get the things. i said in another post i shopped for fun at thrift stores but i also need things for my growing fella ... alas life goes on

Yes, I really think so....the name "designerdigs" is somewhat telling. Some people will do anything(aside from actually getting a job and working) to make money. Yes, the giver would be giving out of the goodness of their heart, but it could come back to bite them later ..... they may come home one day and find themselves cleaned out....because they allowed a stranger to come over to pick up their kids clothes and that person scoped out their place and was taking note of all the big ticket items that can easily be pawned for cash......even if you only allow someone into your garage, they can see what kind of tools your husband has.....tools, electronics, jewelry, etc are all things that theives can turn into cash very quickly.

Shopping at thrift stores is cool, but I doubt you would hit up a bunch of strangers to donate things to you outright.....unless you had something up your sleeve.

Are you looking for any

Iwith you Katy, probably looking for name brands to sell, thus the name "designerdigs". I too would never let anyone come to my house to pick up anything, I'd be leary about it being someone going to either do what you mentioned or somebody going to outright rob you right then and there. Some people are more risky than others. However, I think unless you're really down and out I think it's a bit presumptutious to ask people you don't even know for clothing hand outs, whether they are planning to get rid of them or not. Just my opinion.

I concur, it seems very
