Many people do a thriving business and make money selling baby clothes. There is a high demand for quality baby clothes out there, and people are willing to pay good money for second hand items. By selling baby clothing, you may be able to make some extra money to contribute to your household, pay down debt or save toward something you really want.
When I say make money selling baby clothes, I really mean baby and children’s clothing, although anything 12 months to 3T tends to be the most in demand. Most people are looking for brand name clothing that is in excellent condition.
Start by seeing what you already have on hand. Do you have baby and children’s clothing stored away in the attic, basement or closets? Go through the closets and drawers of your own children to see what might be outgrown but in good enough condition to sell.
Figure out where you want to sell. You’ll get the most money by selling on eBay and selling items in lots.
If you don’t have any clothing at home to sell but still want to try to make money selling baby clothes, you’ll have to find some stock and do it cheaply enough so you can resell it at a profit. Yard sales and thrift stores are one source of inexpensive clothing. Just do some research first, so you know the brands and sizes that people most want to buy. Research prices, too. There is no reason to pay $3 for an item, if it will sell for the same or less from you. Many times you can make deals when you buy several pieces at a time.
Launder and iron all items and take photos with good lighting that really shows off the pieces. Make sure to give as much details on the clothing when you advertise it, including the size, brand, any special features and whether you are willing to ship it or deliver it locally.
