| - I've been selling things here ever since it opened and it works for me. It's important to keep in mind that the things your kid doesn't play with/fit in anymore aren't making you ANY money jammed in closets and drawers. If you don't want the hassle of listing/selling items yourself online, this is a good option. No, you won't make a ton of money, but you will likely make more than you will dropping it off in a donation bin (which is ALWAYS 0).
The buyers can explain their pricing policy very easily if you have questions. Their new electronic check in is awesome and they'll even text you when your sale is ready. Go have lunch, shop around... THEN come back and grab your cash.
Things to help make a good sale:
1. Wash, iron (if necessary), and lay clothes flat. Organize in baskets or boxes if possible. Take a Mr Clean magic sponge to those dirty shoes! Basically, make it easy and appealing for the buyer to look through your items.
2. Make sure toys are clean and in working order. Group small parts together in zip-top bags and bonus points if you can hand over the manual.
3. Smile. Be courteous. Have LOW expectations. Don't take things personally. I often hear, "You have great stuff, we are just at capacity for (x item) right now." You're not a bad person if they don't purchase your stuff- they just might not be able to take it at the moment!
Money in your pocket, cleaned out closets, and low-priced toys now available for a new family to love... All is right with the universe.
