Did you get enough energy?

Hi everyone!!

I finally decided to clear out most of our baby/kids stuff. Mostly I was holding onto a lot for sentimental reasons and then not knowing what to do with them.

I bought a table at our local kids swap meet and am wondering if any of you have ever attended one of those swap meets and what general pricing is?

What do people charge and pay for things in good to new condition such as:

play pens
exersaucers
child carriers
high chairs
tricycles
toys
onesies
outfits
tops
pants
dresses
etc. etc. etc.

thanks so much for your feedback!!!

Not enough, imho...but be careful re highchairs, etc...I know that here, in our town, it's pretty dicey reselling those, as well as things like bumbos...Really....our DD takes our grandson's stuff (clothes, toys) to a consignment shop that pays her upfront for it all, and she gets more than she ever would at swap meets or yard sales. Do you have such a place where you are?
Sorry I can't give you much help otherwise...I know that she did sell one green garbage bag of baby clothes for about $30 early on...probably about 20% of what it was worth, but she just wanted it gone..Good luck, Hon!

Shop girl ...for me

I'd pay $5 for a bag of clothes..say several onesies, a few pants/skirts/tops/dresses depending on gender.

toys and the like..no idea...I'm past that stage. I've either given it to friends or donated them to the garderie where my kids went.. However I'd probably pay up to a maximum of 20% of current cost price for things like cots, bikes, high chairs and the like. I wouldn't gamble on getting anywhere near cost for those things.

Thank you both for the advice!!! I appreciate it.
