FYI - Selling baby clothing (INSTEAD of Once Upon A Child...)

I see all the posts about how everyone is dissappointed with the $ they get from Once Upon A Child....

Last weekend, my friends and I did a yard sale and I brought TONS of NEW clothing with tags on it. I sold them for:

$1 - one piece
$2 - two piece
$4 - dresses and complete outfits

For standing outside for a few hours (along with selling other items) I made well over $100! Yes, people haggled me and I sold for less, so not every item sold at that price, but I still made good $ on clothing I would not use again or had too much of.

I advertised on CraigsList on the Garage Sale board as well as on the Baby board.

Give it a try, it may be worth your while to get together with friends and make a big yard sale of kids clothing!!

Hope this helps Chat Icon

We've made alot of money over the years with my older DD's clothes and toys at yard sales.

If I "SOLD" the pieces for 1 dollar and made 100 I would have been ecstatic....instead I packed all the cr@p up brought it there and stood there for an hr ONLY to take it ALL home. Thats the part that is killing me. At least take it...Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
