Ha thanks on Facebok now. Just figuring out pricing. If any brands have a premium etc.

Any general thoughts? eBay? Facebook? Craigslist? Suggestions? Thanks.

I don't thrift baby clothes, these were my daughters

Huge Baby Clothes Lot 66 12 18 24 Months Girls Pants Shirts Onsies Sweatshirt | eBay

Sold them once for $55 but buyer never paid. Relisted and BIN was hit for $129.95

I tried smaller lots but they were a waste. I'll continue to put these lots together as she grows out of them. had lots of watchers and interest

Yeah I've had a Facebook offer of $10 for 75 pieces. Seems decent but I'll hold out a tad longer till I gather more baby clothes info.

Picked up two Polo Sport hats this evening for $2 a piece.

Should profit well from them.

gatordeve86 · 02-26-2015, 12:30 AM

Almost to my $500 goal this week

LoveItCards · 02-26-2015, 01:10 PM

We have an Amazon shipping center in my town. Maybe I can save shipping cost and just drop off all my goods at the front door.

gatordeve86 · 02-26-2015, 01:14 PM

They don't let you do dropoffs... trust me it would be a lot easier since I live by 4 amazons and the wife works there still

LoveItCards · 02-26-2015, 02:40 PM

Gatordeve86 do you prefer any of the categories below over the others as most profitable/most action?

gatordeve86 · 02-26-2015, 03:57 PM

i sell a little of everything... toys and video games seem to go quick for me but i buy whatever i can make money on lol

possom813 · 02-26-2015, 06:39 PM

Overslept this morning and missed the storage auction today. So the wife wanted to go to the thriftshops and I needed to get tires on the truck anyways, so off we went.

Got 800 bucks worth of rubber on the truck(about crapped myself on that, they used to be a lot cheaper) and hit the thriftshops in the area.

Went to one that all winterwear was marked down to a buck each, everything from jeans to shirts to jackets.

Bought 3 women's leather coats for $1 each

About 30 shirts and sweaters, Eddie Bauer, Chaps, Tommy Hilfiger, US Polo, Ralph Lauren and the like, and some golf shirt/windbreaker things for a buck. I forgot to go back for the Astros jersey. I laid it off to the side and forgot it. It was $4.

And one sweater I can't find any info on. It has a classic 50's look to it and the tag has "Bostwicks for Men". I can't find anything similar to it anywhere.

Figured for a buck each, I won't lose much if this clothing thing doesn't work out

crazygrover · 02-26-2015, 07:31 PM

Like someone else stated a few post back. This has been a trying month on eBay. I typically average 1 return every 6 months. I have had 6 this month, all of them because they did not look at the pictures, read the descriptions, etc. Today I had 1 want a return because the box of a 45 year old game is a little dirty. The pictures I posted showed the exact condition of it. She is returning it because she claims I tried to rip her off sending a box in that condition. If only people paid attention to what they buy.

Just received this gem from a buyer who was initially blocked because of his unpaid item cases. He really wants my shirt. He's sent me several messages to which I have never responded over the week.

...will you be using these for c** rags now, or is that too tricky a question for you to answer, you whore monger??

Pretty sure that is against the eBay TOS. You could forward it to them and make his life a little bit more difficult. Blocking that POS right now, thanks for the heads up.

Isn't this against ebay rules to sell your account.
