Displaying Baskets at Estate Sale Sign In/Join

I have dozens of baskets at my estate sale. I just tossed them onto a spare bed as a display, but some people complain that they can't see them very well all piled up. I really don't have much room to have a big basket display. For the 3 or 4 I sell each garage sale season, it doesn't seem worth it. Any suggestions?

Can you line them up under a table? Do you have bookshelves to put them on? Nest as many as possible or tie handles together, such as four or five baskets and hang them up over a door...They are hard to see piled on the bed.

I don't think baskets are a big seller at an estate or even a yard sale. I am collecting some to use if I ever have my dreamed of yard sale but I will give them away and just charge for the contents.

I store mine in the cellar hung from hooks screwed into the ceiling!
