If pay 20 for them

hidinginthenightgarden · 21/01/2018 10:42

You won't get more than £20 in my experience.

MrsMarigold · 21/01/2018 10:43

Yes, everyone gets lots of stuff for this age group, it isn't petit bateau or jacardi. A tenner would be ok but £30 is too much imho.

MrsMotherHen · 21/01/2018 10:44

I did think 20 at first to be honest.

Yes £20 max especially for that age group

silvousplaitmerci · 21/01/2018 10:49

Id probably pay £25 for them. I try to work it how
much it would have cost to buy them separately.

MrsMotherHen · 21/01/2018 10:51

I am happy for people to knock me down on price so hopefully they will.

YABU to use that eye-melting font.

Viviennemary · 21/01/2018 11:08

I agree with £20 or at a stretch £25. Depends on condition of course.

Chaosofcalm · 21/01/2018 11:11

I think people are more reluctant to buy second hand for new borns then they are for older children and you are often given lots of new born clothes. I personally only like new borns in baby grows so your market might be smaller than you think.

A lot of those clothes are summer clothes so people who are just about to have babies won’t be wanting them.

hidinginthenightgarden · 21/01/2018 11:16

Don't aim high hoping they will knock you down. They wont, they will just look for it elsewhere. Plenty of people are selling on baby clothes now. Be realistic or you won't get anywhere.

Enidthecat · 21/01/2018 11:18

hiding in my experience everyone tries to knock you down! I get ridiculous offers for everything I've sold.

GU24Mum · 21/01/2018 11:22

I used to run our local NCT sales years ago and was always having to advise people to price things lower else they just won't sell. Unless you've got premium brands which have a good second-hand market, I'd think about what price the various shops would sell the items for at the end of a sale, then halve it if they are used and start from there.

Agree with PPs that if the price is on the high side, people are more likely to look elsewhere than haggle unless there's an obvious small haggle to be had (priced at £22, will you take £20 for example).

PricillaQueenOfTheDesert · 21/01/2018 11:23

£30 seems a bit steep. At the end of the day, this stuff is of no use to you, so you are selling what is effectively your rubbish. People buying these clothes are either trying to watch their money, or thinking of the environment. I don’t think either of them deserve to be fleeced for having ethics or lower income.

I’d prob ask £15. But would accept £12.

SunnyCoco · 21/01/2018 11:23

Also doing it in a collage means you can’t really see the clothes, just my opinion

MrsMotherHen · 21/01/2018 11:34

Thats just the front pic theres all close ups aswell if it doesnt sell in a few days will half price it. Smile

Enidthecat - They try to knock you down if you start with a reasonable price. If you price it unrealistically they just wont bother because they wont get the price they want.
