Has anyone sold used clothing to Once Upon A Child
I believe that they pay half of whatever they decide to price it out as, and give you 60 or 75% of that price if you choose to use it as trade. You may want to test the waters by taking in only a few items to see if you find their assessments to be fair and acceptable. I noticed that the price structure varied a bit from employee to employee and always tried to have one particular clerk "buy" my clothes. If you don't agree with their pricing on any item, just decline to sell it to them and save it to sell at your garage sale instead.
Ebay is also a big market for reselling children's clothing. I've never sold there, but I bought a few lots of clothes and noted that the bidding drove the price up to ridiculous amounts when thier were designer or name-brand labels (Baby Gap, Old Navy) attached. I suggest taking a peek there. See what's available and how the bids are coming along. That is, if you don't mind messing with the shipping and all of that.
My twins have gone from size Preemie to size 18M in the span of just 9 MONTHS, so as you can imagine I have a michael kors outlet TON of clothes! Add to that the fact that they're michael kors handbags girls (people seem to think it's more fun to buy baby girl clothes than baby boy clothes) and they're the first grandchildren AND great-grandchildren. and also the fact that I'm pretty picky when it comes to what my girls michael kors uk wear. SO. added all together, we have a MILLION clothes that are all very nice brands (some of them are hardly worn) and too small already!
A few weeks ago when the weather was still too cold for a garage sale, I decided to sign up for eBay and give it a try. I've been very pleasantly surprised! My advice, if you're willing to give it a shot, is to group your clothes together into sets. My stuff sells really well because it's for twins (twin stuff sells pretty well on eBay) but I've seen other "gently used" clothing sell for pretty good prices on eBay.
Why don't you go to eBay and do a search for similar items and see what they're michael kors jet set crossbody asking (and getting) for prices. You might be surprised. I feel that I can get better prices by "bundling" my items and selling them on eBay than I could with a garage sale. (If you're interested in looking at my items, just for reference, my seller name is hmkolb. I think you can search by seller name.)
I do have some items that have stains or don't have a matching set (for a "twins" set) that I'm thinking of just putting in a garage sale this spring.
Basically, when you bring clothes in, they'll look through them and they'll put them into two piles, ones they'll buy and ones they won't. Some will be rejected because there's some sort of small flaw such as a miniscule stain you missed or something. Others will be rejected because they're not buying for that season, or have enough of those or what not. And if you're not already planning to have a garage sale, they are a big pain. I almost always end up wasting an entire weekend, netting maybe $5 per man hour tops, and michael kors store being surprised that the stuff I thought was really good and would sell right away is still there, while the stuff I was sure I'd be hauling to the trash can got snapped up right away. No matter how much I sell or how much money I make I still usually end up with way more stuff left over than I really want, then I've got to decide what to keep and try to sell at another garage sale or through another avenue, what to put on the curve and what to drive to the Goodwill. Personally if I never have another garage sale it will be too soon.
My son is now 5 and we have years worth of clothes he's outgrown as he is as tall as a 7 year old and grows out of stuff way too fast for us to sell it, and my wife is a bargain hunter, always finding good deals on large lots of clothing or store closeouts or what have you, so we had almost an entire room full of clothes to get rid of. The nice thing is you can make the exchange in person, and my wife has even had people pay her via Paypal and has left the box or bag on our step so the person can just come by and get it if she's going to be out of the house. You don't have to hassle with packing and shipping and there are no listing fees. The only problem we've encountered are at times she's priced things too low, because she'll put a lot of say Gap jeans out and put a price that she's thrilled to get, then 20 people will respond and she'll realize that she could have gotten more, but she doesn't care, and if you're not greedy, just ask what you think something is worth to you and you'll probably find someone to buy it. Occassionally also she'll get people who say they're interested and then don't show, but you're not out anything but time then, and you just go to the next buyer. If you put an ad up and don't get any responses, then your price is probably too high. And if you're in a more rural area not serviced by Craig's List, then the garage sale might be a good option, because people shopping there won't have as many places they can get quality used clothes as they would in a bigger city where Craig's List is popular. There are also consignment shops, but we've never gone that route because generally the cut they get makes your net less than you'd get with other methods, and it can take forever to sell the stuff. I have bought and sold clothes at Once Upon A Child. I drove 45 miles to the nearest one with a trunk full of my sons clothes to sell there; they took maybe a small handful of clothes out of 5 giant garbage bags full. I only buy named brand clothes and most of them were hardly worn, or even still had tags. I won't go that route especially if you have to drive, I wasted more in gas then I got in the clothes sold.
I am a avid buyer and seller on Ebay and have always had great luck. Depending on the clothes etc, you can make out big with Ebay. I personally hate garage sales they are just too much work and time. What I don't sell on ebay, I have gone to donating. Donations of clothing to places like Savers, Salvation Army, Epilepsy Foundation, etc. are excellent Tax write-offs.
