It could be a real problem if that is all one is selling, but if one is
also bottles of good scotch, canned goods etc. it should be okay.  People
frequently sell as it lots that inlcudes good stuff and a bunch of junk.

There are numreous liquidators that buy everything someone (personal or
business) at a location and then resell what they can.
