Hey moms... I have a bunch of my kids out grown clothes taht I want to sell on ebay. They are all fall winter clothing.. I want to sell them when people are starting to think aobut buying fall witner clothes. I think I will get a better price if I sell them when folks are looking for fall witner clothes..
When do you start shopping for back to school clothing???? I know right now everyoneis in the summer mode... so now is not the right time... maybe august 1?? I shop resale stores and mom to mom sales often.. and I will buy clothing for any season at the right price even if it is a size or 2 too large.. kids grow.. I will always buy things like shoes, coats, and pajamas that are a good price in good conditiion cause we always need these items.. Is that how others shop?
I would say even better than ebay is craigslist, I buy and sell from there all the time. I sell my kids clothes on there too and will probably be posting their fall clothes on there around mid-July. People do buy ahead of time, especially if the price is right.
Anytime.LOL
If I see something that is a good deal that can be used for fall I pick it up. I also buy larger sizes (if it's a good name brand and dirt cheap) I don't care if my son has to wait a year before he can wear it.
I usually start around the end of August or beg. of Sept. I usually wait till the last minute. I will buy a size bigger so that it will last through the winter (although I don't have much of a winter here in CA)
I shop just like you........For an easier sale, I would post mid August depending on when school starts in your area. For me, school doesn't start until after Labor Day - Is it that way in all of MI??
By Fall clothes I can only assume that you mean long sleeves and long pants. I'd put them on in late August or September when the temperatures start to drop.
I ALWAYS buy ahead of time. I usually buy at the super-cheap end of season sales for the next year. So I'd say go for it. If I saw something I liked for my son and the price was right, I'd get it, regardless of the time of year. I am always putting things back for the right season.
I'd say august, for sure!
yes, I buy clothes at the consignment store and from craigslist. The lady i bought clothes from last, i asked her to save my email and let me know when she's selling stuff again. She has 2 daughters, the same size difference as mine! So she even has matching stuff (and she sold everything to me for like 50 cents a piece!!!!!!). She told me she'd have stuff for me in August. :-)
I always shop clearance racks the season before school starts. IE I am buying next year's clothes now.
August is when I put school clothes on eBay.
