debhopkinson Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Your opinions please Is it worth selling child's clothes at a car boot sale - before you ask I do give to charity on a regular basis - but these items are really nice and could do with the cash for us and we will be selling good items at very low prices (50p a garment). Got lots and also kiddie's learning DVDs. Am I wasting my time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_S_83 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 No, but based upon my experience of trying to sell them, and buying them, try to get a clothes rail and little hangers, price things clearly too x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechpete Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 No, you can sell clothes pretty easily on a car boot. 50p-£1 seems to be as much as people are willing to pay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Depends on the brand as well. More designery stuff can sell quite well on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterball Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 In my experience yes. You could try the selling pages of netmums and other baby websites but even then you don't get much. EBay is your best bet but you're best off doing bundles. I've tried to sell bits in the past but when you're getting offered £1/£1.50 for a Boden dress (for example) that cost £22 and was barely worn cos LO's grow so quickly, it makes you think what's the point? I'd rather keep it and pass it on to somebody I know will appreciate it. I've been keeping my stuff lately as I'm about to pop again and I don't know if I'm gonna need girl or boy stuff. Whichever i have I'll soon be needing to have a MASSIVE clearout of the other. I love kids clothes and always go crazy every season but I'm not prepared to virtually give it away for pennies at carboot sales or on eBay, I'd rather give it to charity. I've learned people can be cheeky when it comes to pre-loved things. Good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always resell my girls gear in little plastic bags,folded,and priced in pastel colours.Its a good idea to put out some books etc. to create a positive image.
