if you take your plastic bags outside-and air them-let the stuff out on occassion- and becareful during really humid times you should be ok.
another option would be to take to laundramat right before going to where ever you are planning to sell---then everything is fresh and clean for the sale.
depends i guess on how you are trying to sell- whether its like booths set up at festivals/markets- or if you are trying to direct sell online- if that's the case- wash each item and package it to go when it is sold-
where there's a will there's always a way :)
From a non-smoking house, I can tell you that even when washed fabric has the odor from smoking! I acquired some scraps that were from another part of the house, washed and then when I ironed them, I could smell it!
