Which would you do?

Just found out we are expecting #3.  I have a bunch of toys, clothes, etc that we have acquired that I don't want to keep so I'm trying to decide what to do with it.  Option A is a consignment sale in 2 weeks, about 45 minutes from our house.  I would have to hang clothes and tag everything and then run it up there and go back and pick up anything that doesn't sell but in the end, I get a check.  Option B is a resale shop on the other side of town.  I pack it up, take it to them, they go through it but I get store credit.  DD1 and 2 don't really need anything from the store.  I can only think of a few things we will need for #3 and some of them I'm not willing to buy used (carseat, bottles) so I'm not really sure if a store credit would do us much good (unless #3 is a boy, then it will be great) but throwing in a box seems so much easier than hanging and tagging and scheduling a trip around preschool and elementary school dropoffs and pickups.  It looks like #3 will be due right around the time of the spring consignment sale so that likely won't happen either.  So, which would you do?

I would hang onto it until I know it can't be used for #3 personal. Otherwise I'd do a fb sale and then the consignment sale as a last option.

I'm super lazy and don't care about the money, so I'd wait until a local charity is having a pickup day, sign up online and put it all out on my front steps. You can just google your city and donation pickup or similar and probably find a charity.

I would keep it for now.  We are expecting #3 any day now.  I have a DD and a DS.  We don't know what #3 is.  I was surprised at how much I actually had to buy for #3 based on general wear and tear on stuff from DD and DS (swaddles, blankets, towels, burp cloths......). 

If you really want it gone, I would sell it on FB/Craigslist.
