  First where are you located? I can save you tons of trouble buying your 2T - 3T stuff. Especially your Lelli Kelly's

  To answer your questions though:

   

  -Is the money you make on eBay comparable to what you'd make at DC/JBF?  If not, which is more or less?  You will make much more off of Ebay
  

  -How much work goes into selling stuff at one of the consignment sales?

  It is sort of a beating. I have done it twice now and I do have to say it is time consuming uploading the info and then hanging and tagging the clothes. Of course my issue could be that I always wait until the last minute to do it all.
  

  -Do you have better luck selling on eBay or at a consignment sale?

  Never sold on ebay so can't answer that, but at the first sale I did I sold everything and the last sale I sold about 95%.
  

  -What happens to your stuff at the consignment sale if you don't sell it??

  You can either pick it up or donate.
  

  -How quickly do you get your money and what is the shared break between DC and you?

  I think it takes about a week to get your check in the mail. You make 70%, but you also have to pay a $10 consignor fee if you don't attend the seminar.

  At Just Between Friends there is a $10 consignor fee.  Plus, you make 65% (70% if you volunteer).  It's a lot of work to enter everything in to make the tags and then you have to tag it all.  Drop off can be a hassle too.  If you have a ton of name brand, boutique stuff then you could make a decent amount of money, but from what I hear eBay is easier and you can make a ton more money that way.  Also, there's eBay Classifieds too.  Similar to Craig's List, but a lot safer, it eliminates spam and it's local to your area.  I've got some things listed up on there until I go to Just Between Friends if it doesn't sell.

   Thanks for posting the eBay classifies info. I have some stuff listed on craigslist, but also just put one eBay classifieds.  I have more to add still. Hopefully they will sell.

  Thanks for all of the input - I think I'll just stick with eBay, since I know it works.
