Are you looking for a way to make some extra money? You might have boxes of stuff in the loft that is sitting there, just waiting to be organised and sold. Second hand baby clothes have value and can be sold for a decent price to new parents looking for high quality clothing for their little ones. Let's have a look at how you can sell used baby clothes and make cash.
Sell used baby clothes
One of the best things about used baby clothes is that they usually have plenty of miles left in them. At the rate that children grow, especially during those first couple of years, outfits might only get worn a handful of times. If you look after these baby clothes, you can reclaim some of the cost of them by selling them on when your baby outgrows them. Individual pieces might be worth a small fortune as they might not be available to buy anymore. Of course, you can bundle outfits together too. Perhaps by size, so new Mums and Dads can get a job lot of clothing for their baby's next stage. There are a number of places you can sell used baby clothes. We'll look at these below as well as ideas about how to buy and sell to make higher profits.
Fee free platforms
If you don't want to be hit with any fees when you sell used baby clothes, check out the likes of Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree. You can list items for sale on those sites for free and there are no fees to pay when they are sold. Take photos of your items, list them with great descriptions and wait for people to get in touch. You might get people haggling the price but so often, items sell quickly and people collect their purchases within a couple of days.
Widen your potential market
Of course, there are some items you ay have bought which will make more money if they have more eyes on them. This is when platforms such as eBay could come into play. People will be actively searching on the platform for things you are selling, for brand names that they want their baby to wear. If you have these items you can enhance the amount of money you can make. You'll need to take fees into account as well as postage rates. Be sure to weigh the item before you list it to ensure you put the correct postage on it. Otherwise this could eat into your profits.

If you can pick up items for 70% off, or maybe even more, you can then sell them online for closer to the RRP.

This could mean that you can sell at over an above the RPP, giving you a cash boost.
