Have I told you how I loathe OUAC??

I took a lot of things up there- the girls spring and summer pieces (all sized 6-9m, through 12m). I had a number of pieces the girls never got a chance to wear- full outfits, some NWT. I had 8 Carters onesie skorts- they have a dress front with a onesie snap in the crotch and a snap back. Two jean jackets, two GAP sweaters...2 TCP ballerina long sleeve light shirts, brand name stuff- you get the drift. The things that were worn, were only used once- maybe twice. No stains, in like new condition. All told, there were probably 25 pieces in new or like new condition.
They took 10 pieces and gave me $9 for them. They only took one of the NWT dresses- said the other was worn (uh really?). I asked why they didn't take much else and the girl said the stuff was used. No fricken kidding you douche bag. But it was in waay better condition than the shiiiit they had on the racks in the same size. They had two BROKEN jumparoos (the springs weren't even bouncy!) and they were asking $40 for them!! I asked how much they offered for jumparoos in good condition pointing out the stretched springs and the stains on the seat, she said about $10 sometimes $12. I know it's a hell of a deal for people to buy in there, but they sure ripped this seller off. Never again.
I'm going to post pics of my stuff in my bio, maybe you girls are willing to buy stuff on the cheap.
no day but today~ RENT *HEG survivors*

I hate that place too, and in hindsight wish I would have never bought my nursery furniture from them. ?I took in some super nice maternity clothes there to sell, including a $100 maternity dress from Mimi Maternity that I wore once to my baby shower, and a silk blouse I wore to one wedding, and they wanted to give me $3 for each piece. ?What??! ?I didn't sell any of it to them. ?I have since sold baby clothes and maternity clothes in seasonal consignment sales, and have made much more money - and also purchased clothes at a much better price.

OMG girlfriend --- I could have posted the same thing myself!! Our twins club sale was HUGE in Feb. and I had several clothing pieces that didn't sell (mainly because it was under a HUGE pile of other clothes or on racks smooshed so tight with hangers you couldn't really look through them, but I digress). Rather than waiting for the spring sale next year I figured I would take them to OUAC -- a little $$ now is better than none, right? I had probably 40 pieces and at the twins sale I didn't have anything priced more than $3 (and I'm talking practically new baby gap, ralph lauren, old navy -- some stuff had only been worn once or twice). I added up what I had them tagged for at my twins sale -- total $67. OUAC wanted to give me $19!!!! WHAT THE FRICK?!?!? I expected it to be a bit lower and I know they need to make money too, but come on!! I told the lady to put it all back in my bag and I'd just wait until next year. I didn't even bother hauling my bigger stuff . . . it is such a joke! I was selling my stuff for garage sale prices . . . guess I'll just have to have a garage sale now!
Hmpfh!
I don't sell there but I do buy there. I love the one near us but it's small and very crowded.
Do you belong to a local MoM's club that does a club yardsale? You sell your stuff and a small percentage goes to help support the club and you get the rest. Or is there a Tot Swap group up your way where people can consign and then come in to buy before the general public. With a Tot Swap you get back at least 50% of the sale price.

Nope, no twins group any more and no real MOT/MOPs groups either. Boo...
