So do I. Put an ad in the paper or something. Or have garage sale and give them away.
People who would accept pets given away at a garage sale are probably woefully unprepared to take care of them.
All she would be doing is relieveing herself of her responsibility by placing it on someone who is likely as irresponsible as she is.

Why?
Well my deductive reasoning impaired friend, more than likely anyone who purchases a pet at a garage sale is doing so on an impulse. Purchasing a pet as an impulse buy is an irresponsible thing to do. While a few people may go out of their way in order to provide a good home for the pet, most people who make such a purchase are not prepared to commit to the responsibilities that were incurred at the moment of that impulsive purchase.
You could buy some snakes. You'd have a nice little closed food chain set up and circle of life. Still, a single snake wouldn't probably keep your hamster plague in check.
Did you know that many ancient groups, Mongols included I believe, had clothes made entirely from field mice? You could do a Cruella Deville and make yourself a snazzy gown/suit from a-grade hamster pelt. Or maybe build a yurt.
Still, I guess the best option would be to sell them. People always want hamsters. Always. I mean, I keep difficult to care for critters, and rare beasties, yet I buy a hamster, and it dies soon after. Yes, it was grotesquely fat. Yes it burrowed under the edge of it's cage and had it drop on it's grotesquely fat skull. But still, their meant to be hardy!!!!
Till then do your best to segregate them - it takes two to tango, no more little hamsters if the boys and girls are kept separate.

I'm sure some people would buy them for pets. You have to try, don't make them have any more though, please!
