Back on the Craigslist bandwagon

I split my remaining 0-9 month girl clothes into groups by size and took some group shots, then threw three ads up on craigslist, one for each size grouping  (with a note on each that I have an ad for the other two sizes too if interested).  I still need to list the other two items I took pictures of, some shoes and some kickboxing gloves.  But at least I got the baby clothes up.  They are all fall/winter clothes so I am hoping this is a good time to list them.

I also got a lead on somewhere else to sell baby/kid clothes in the future.  I went to a consignment sale this weekend to find some clothes for my son and they handed out a flyer at the door on how to become a seller at their next sale in April.  You get to keep 90% of the profit from what you sell and you get anything that doesn’t sell back.  Sweet!  The only problem is I can’t go to the seller  registration because of a previous commitment, I’ll have to sign up the next day on the waitlist.  Maybe I’ll get lucky.  If not I’ll get the info at the April sale on when to register as a seller for the next one.  I really think I could do well selling at that sale, most of my clothes are nicer than what I saw there and in better condition and I usually mark them at lower prices than I saw.  The sellers get to shop the night before the sale so I bet stuff comparable to my clothing was already snapped up.  A good sign :).

I’m getting a little bit excited.  Debt, I am beating you down.

Off to snowflake for the grocery transgressions yesterday and the ice cream today (I still smell like chocolate… mmm).

  1. Good job for finding outlets to sell you stuff. Have you had a lot of luck with craigslist? I’ve listed a few things, but never sold any of them…

  2. Well… I have had some success. I have sold some stuff. But I also have listed a lot of stuff that doesn’t sell, or people contact me interested and it doesn’t work out cause they flake….

    Really, the only reason I keep doing it is because it is free. I listed my daughter’s outgrown clothes in one huge lot in July and I had two people come and buy a ton of them. So I am hoping by listing what is left in smaller lots by specific size I can sell some more of it.
