Buy and Sell

[Temptress]

Does anyone know any good places to sell baby items, other than Ebay and UKP as I have loads of dd's clothes from when she was tiny.

NCT sales are supposed to be very worthwhile but I've never been to one myself. I've sold nursery equipment through Adtrader and Yeller (free to advertise) previously though have never managed to sell a pushchair in this way. I once sold a binbag full of clothes by an ad in the paper but I tend to take them to the charity shop these days. On-line sales are ok but the postage charges really eat into the money you make.

I've sold lots of stuff through NCT sales and also a boxload to our local secondhand kidswear shop.

On the whole, I've got better prices through NCT but that's because I've priced myself. The shop offered me an average of 1.50 max per item and I haggled her up a bit - most of the stuff was Gap or Osh Kosh, including whole dress and knicker sets, dungarees etc that weren't cheap. But I was clearing out prior to moving and couldn't be doing with it hanging around.

It depends whether you feel comfortable having people pick over what you have in front of you - you can car boot or sell to secondhand shop - or whether you like to be one step removed - sell via NCT or a shop which takes goods and sells on commission.
