Ready to dump your kid’s old stuff?
What’s the best way to get rid of your baby gear and kids clothes - consignment, eBay or charity?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I got a great question from MOMania reader Melissa. Here’s what she had to say:
“I have a 2 year old son, and I just had a daughter. I am wondering now what to do with my son’s clothing as he outgrows it. Specifically, I am wondering what to do with his nicer clothing that would get me some of my money back. Take it to a consignment store? Sell it on eBay? Which makes parents more money? Is eBay worth the hassle? What are the best consignment stores in the Atlanta area for sellers of children’s clothing?”
This is a great topic that I truly know very little about. I’ve got two strollers and a high chair I want to dump also but I’m not sure how to go about it either. It seems like my friends in the Buckhead area are constantly talking about sales at churches and schools.
I know the big Gwinnett sale is coming up Feb. 20 through the 24 at the Gwinnett Fair Grounds. Here’s the Web site. But you have to have 25 items to sell and mainly I just want to get rid of my strollers.
What and where are your favorite places to get rid of children’s items you’re not using any more? How long do you wait to do it? Do you keep anything for sentimental value? (I know the sex of my new baby but I’m still not ready to part with the clothes the baby won’t be using.)
Tell us how to accomplish this in an easy manner!
