Best way to sell successfully at once upon a child?

At ours, they do have very limited storage so they won't buy anything out of season. I'd guess they probably also limit the quantity in one particular size, so your idea of not inundating them with one size might be a good one. I found them to be very weird in what they'd take, to be honest. I'd get something with a pindot stain turned away only to see things in vastly worse shape on their racks. I'm not sure there is a foolproof approach with them.

It seems to also depend on who you get. The last time I went they took all but six items so I was super excited. I have two totes that I want to bring in from my garage sale and I am working on building my enthusiasm to actually bring it in.

I keep whatever is given back to me and take it in on a different day. I have a OUAC very close to my house and I can always drop off the bin on my way by and swing by to pick it up later. I just keep the bin in my car and throw things in it whenever it no longer fits. Clothes have been accepted later after they'd originally been rejected. Eventually, they all get sold back.

I don't like getting pennies for the dollar on my stuff so I don't go there anymore. I would rather hang onto the stuff for a few months and sell at Munchkin Market where I can get more money back out of it, especially for like new name brand items. I had a bunch of like new clothes left after one Munchkin Market sale when DD was younger so I took it to OUAC to see if I could offload more of it. The kinds of things I had marked for $3 (and had been selling well at that price at Munchkin, and getting 80%, brands like Baby Gap, Children's Place, Gymboree) they offered me a dollar or less.    I realize they need to make a profit too, but really? 75¢ for a brand new Carter's sleeper that was washed once and never worn? 

I did sell some of it, and only realized when I got home that they paid me $6 for a brand new, still in the package Amy Butler baby sling that cost over $50 on sale!    I should have paid closer attention because I could have gotten much more for that one item selling it on eBay or even hanging onto it for the next Munchkin sale. My lesson was learned, and I never went back.

I swear, every time I read the title of this thread I see 'best way to successfully sell your child.'

I have teenagers. I wonder this from time to time and was looking for tips.

I just googled St Cloud, MN and it looks like a Just Between Friends has a sale there. I believe they are franchised sales maybe?  

I have done one of their's here in my area with decent results. The best one in our area is a one started by a couple of local moms... Crazy what people buy there IMO. I am a pro at shopping sales w/ coupons at my favorite kids stores. I have sold clothes at that sale for 75-90% of what I paid on the first day. A buck is a buck, but it still shocks me how much some people will pay for used items at those sales. But not complaining since it is good for me!  The Facebook garage sale groups have become very popular here too because it is easy and no dealing with tagging, drop off, etc like a big consignment sale.

ETA- if you do a consignment sale, I would splurge for one of those tagging guns (they are cheap on Amazon, or even split with friends). Your fingers will thank you later!  Best purchase I made after pinning things for my first sale. 

I just took a full basket to Once Upon a Child Wednesday. I got most of it back, but what they did take was worth $30. Not bad! To me it's worth noting dealing with the hassle of a garage sale. The rest I'll give to friends.

I totally considered doing this tomorrow. Then tonight I put everything from two Rubbermaid into trash bags and an giving them to a younger mom I know. I think she's quite excited!

It feels so good tonight to know that I am down about 100 unused items from earlier today.

I typically do the Facebook sale pages but like yours it just seems stuff isn't selling lately. I've had good luck on those doing a few outfits for $10; but the lots large than that never sell and I didn't want to spend the next few weeks selling and meeting. The disappointing part of that is in the last I've always tossed the money into my child's savings account from selling the outgrown goods.

Our OUAC is fussy and no one knows the logic, they pass on great condition brand name items (Jamie and jack, Abercrombie kids) then for cents on the dollar take items from target and jcpenny. It's strange and not a convenient location to me.

How did your garage sale go?

I keep reading it as that too!  

Have you seen ads for Mom2Mom sales? Usually the table fee is low and you can just set it up and be done with it in a few hours. I did one. Took 4 boxes of clothes plus a few boxes of other stuff. Came back with one box of leftovers which was promptly left at Salvation Army. 

Maybe a facebook group where you can sell kids' clothes and you could just do lots and offer a flat price for each lot.
