The best way to unload outgrown clothes?

monkaloo · June 2010

I'm a wee bit of a packrat and have a hard time getting rid of things - especially the kids' stuff. But the clothing (and baby gear) situation has gotten ridiculous and it's time. It's really really time. I have every piece of clothing for both kids from age preemie to present, and I'm rapidly running out of places to put it all.

How do you prefer to unload/sell your kids outgrown clothing? Consignment? eBay? CL? Donation? I think my life would be easier if we could just have a damn garage sale, but TW doesn't allow it. Blah.

Any suggestions and tips would be well-received and much appreciated!

Thanks!

I am way too lazy to sell them. Plus there are so many people in need of decent kids' clothes, so I'd rather donate them than get a fraction of the price back. So first I let my sister have her pick, then I donate the rest to Salvation Army or Goodwill.

Then again, I don't ever buy upscale or boutique brands, unless I buy them for cheap from a consignment shop. Maybe I'd feel differently if I invested that kind of money.

I love freecycling them. Donating is always good as well.

Or just post here Smile

i love to freecycle! but i also sell a lot of higher end brands. i've sold them myself before via a blog but lately i have been trying to unload a lot at a time by doing the Just Between Friends Sale. i did the central sale and made over $600! for me, selling is my money to buy them new clothes again. and i can justify buying things i really love from better brands b/c i know i'll be able to sell them.
