I signed a contract and got no copy of it. I have taken many items there and received very little money from them. The contract states 50/50 split on my items sold. I know for a fact my toddler bed sold for 0.00. I received only .00. The owner said it sold for .00. I am leaving this consignment store and I am having trouble getting any money I have made and getting the rest of my clothes. Also, when I was there I asked if any of my clothes sold. The owner said no. I saw here daughter there and she was wearing one of my outfits I had there to sell. Please help, I don’t like talking to the owner, for this gets me nowhere. I need information on what action I should pursue. Thanks for any help you can give me!

I will be selling bags full of my daughter’s clothes she has outgrown – she is 3 now – so infant to 3 in sizes. I know that i used to try to find bargains on baby/toddler clothes cuz they grow out of their clothes so quick at that age! I am going to have a yard sale and didnt want to bother trying to sell the clothes as i usually take them to a consignment store or give them away. Well, times are tough and me & my b/f both were laid off from our jobs recently, so we need all the money we can get! Also i need my closet space back! My question is – i have no idea how to set them up at the sale. I dont want people to have to rummage thru a bunch of boxes and i dont want to have to price each individual peice of clothing. Some of the clothes are more play-type clothes and are kinda worn, some are nearly new. I was thinking about hanging up the nicer stuff with individual price tags and then the rest i could kinda group together and just put a sign up with the prices. Also, as for prices i was gonna try and price them far cheaper than the 2nd hand stores and what not. Maybe .50 each or something? Please, does anyone have suggestions? Any yard sale experts?

Prices for baby clothes?




I have been trying to sell my sons baby clothes to get him some big boy things.

I have a guy from a consignment store coming to look at them on Monday. He may be buying them outright instead of making me put them on consignment.

Here is what I have:

NB-18 months clothes. Over 200 pieces. Sweaters, hoodies, shorts, jeans, sweat pants, swimming trunks, t-shirts, onsies, creapers, rompers, and sleepers.
Baby blankets
sheets and crib skirts
baby shoes
hats
bibs
bottle drying rack
baby food holder
Fisher Price Deluxe Jumperoo (needs cleaning)
exersaucer (missing one toy but still works great)
baby bath tub
walker
vetch move and crawl ball
soother (attaches to crib, lights up and plays soothing music/ sounds)
little musical keyboard type things (adjusts to sitting or standing height, has stars and keys that light up, plays music)

What would be decent prices for everything?
I was given everything, but my son is a toddler now and dont really have anything for a toddler. I’m trying to sell everything baby to get him some Big Boy items.

I was thinking about prices for the clothes. I dont know if I should charge the same price for onesies as pants and so on. I’m needing atleast .

I tried selling everything on Craigs List, it was on there for 2 weeks and no luck. I said I would sell it all for 0 or would sell things individually and to let me know what they wanted. No luck.

For those who dont know, the baby food holder is a 3 tier rack that has a small open area on top to hold baby feeding utensils and holds 32 jars of baby food with adjustable height positions. Brand new from K-Mart

I have finally started shopping for clothes for our baby who is due March 23rd, but may come sooner due to complications. The chance the baby will be preemie is about 90%. I have hardly any shopping choices in this town, and we’re stuck with Walmart or a consignment store. I’m very happy that for I have found 9 outfits(sleepers/onesies) and I have a variety of colors since we don’t know if it is a boy or girl.
I’m reluctant to go overboard because I don’t want an abundance of green things or yellow things. So I have bought 3 things in pink, 3 in blue and 3 in green. Of course, depending on what we have, 3 of these items will not really be the appropriate color.
In your opinion, how much more should I have prepared…and should I just stay away from gender specific colors now? I have 3 sleepers, 3 onesies and 3 pant/top outfits.
Also, other then white/yellow/green, what other colors would you use as a unisex choice?
