Helpful Tips

For clothing with range sizing (6-12 months, for example), or unusual sizing (European sizing, or “medium”), use your experience with the garment and good mama judgment to assign a SINGLE size value. If an item is size 5 but fits like a 4t, enter it as a 4t and include “fits like 4t” in the description, and we’ll place it in the area where 4t shoppers can find it!
 

Clothing items sell best when on a hanger! You can bag items such as socks, but if you pin the bag to a hanger, those socks are much more likely to sell! Clothing also sells better when freshly laundered and ironed.
 

A picture is worth a thousand words! Take a picture of items before you bag or disassemble them and attach the picture to your item. For example, it's difficult to picture how a crib set will look when it's folded up, but your picture can show a potential buyer exactly how cute your item is! Selling a sling? Take a picture of your baby being worn in it and attach that! Cuteness sells, and a picture helps explain how an item works!
 

Have a game or piece of equipment to sell, but you've lost the directions? A lot of the directions can be found and printed on the internet! Including directions for complex items can make a buyer feel more confident buying them!
 

Have a large lot of like items? A collection of Thomas trains, or Little People play sets, for example? While a single buyer MAY consider buying your whole collection for $50, you're more likely to sell those items in smaller lots of $15 or $20. The opposite can be true for clothing items. You can often sell coordinated outfits for more than you would get for the individual pieces.
 

Most first-time moms receive LOTS of clothing for their babies. That means few are buying small sizes at consignment. Price your items smaller than size 12 months VERY COMPETETIVELY. We receive TONS of clothing items in small sizes, and the lower-priced items are more likely to sell. Lots work well in these smaller sizes, too. For example, your hanger of three sleepers, priced at $2, is more likely to sell than a single sleeper priced at $2.
 

Don't forget that consignment shoppers don't attach the same sentimental value to your items that you do. Those shoes may be the ones your child was wearing when he took his first steps, but that alone doesn't justify a high price. Price your items on their MERITS, not their MEMORIES!​
