Second hand childrenswear shops in East Anglia or Herts - anyone know any nice ones?

[daisylawn]

I have lots of children's clothes which I would like to sell at a second hand childrens clothing shop.
The shop I know near me keeps 70% of the price and gives the seller back just 30%, which seems quite cheeky to me!

I don't want to sell via a bootsale as lots of the items are as new and designer labels, and I don't want to invest the time it would take to list it all on ebay!

Does anyone know of any nice second hand shops in the East Anglia or Herts areas?

You could try your local NCT branch. You will almost certainly have to label the stuff yourself though but the benefit is that you will get a commission split which is more likely to be 75:25 or 70:30 with you getting the bigger chunk.

have you tried ads in your local paper?

Thanks for the suggestions - I didn't want to use the small ads as I don't want lots of people calling at my house - using a shop just seems an easier way of doing things!
There must be some shops around, surely?

Yellow pages?

well in kids, in Welwyn garden city. they have a second hand section upstairs, dont know they're selling rates in regards to u, or if u get any commision. they specialise in designer kids clothes in the main shop downstairs.

if you wait until Sept/Oct you'd be able to sell them at your local NCT nearly new sale and get 70% of the selling price (some branches even give you 75%). It means you've got to find room to keep them for a few more months but the financial return might outweigh the hassles. And you dont have to actually sell them, you just deliver them in the morning and collect any unsold items in the afternoon (that's how my branch works anyway).

Could you sell on ebay? You can sell bundles of clothes together to save setting up lots of different auctions. It is a bit of work to describe the clothes and then post them after they've sold, but you probably get more for them than if you sold in the local paper.
