Well, hobbits DO have skills that other races, particularly dwarves, have not. They are very quiet, they are good seekers, they make great thieves. What they are not is adventurous. But Bilbo have adventurous ancestors, like Belladona Tuk (her mother). So Gandalf knew that he had it in him. And he also thought it would be good for him to go out and see the world. He was an ordinary hobbit, but Gandalf knew that he had the skills to grow capable given the circumstances, he didn't send him to a sure death! (just to a very likely one).

And as anon above me pointed out, hobbits don't give a damn about gold. That's handy.

Except the Sackville-Bagginses, but they came to a rum old end in the finish of things.

DA

I always had the impression Lobelia cared more about social status, with Bag End and family silver more as a symbol of how important her family was than for their monetary value (side thought: I wonder if she married up?)
When push comes to show, she is one of the few Hobbits who openly oppose Saruman, even if her own son was involved - and he is definitely in it for money
