I have tons of little boy clothes and we found out we are for sure having a little girl. What I was wondering is where should I sell our sons baby clothes?

Craig's List. Too bad we don't live closer, I'd trade you. I had a girl and TONS of clothes and now have a boy and need clothes. :) I'm going to be selling my girl stuff on a garage sale this summer, then go spend that money on boy clothes.

We loaned some of our daughter's clothes to a friend for her little girl. Once she outgrew them, we got them back since we're not done having kids yet. Why pay twice?
If you really want to sell, Once Upon a Child is ok, but you probably won't like what they give you. Have a garage sale, you'll do better.

I'd recommend hanging onto them as well, unless you have an amniocentesis to prove for certain it's a girl. There are many people out there which multiple ultrasounds all prepped for their little girl (or boy) and at the birth they are handed the opposite. You think it can't happen to you, but it's relatively common.

We generally get decent prices through Once Upon A Child. Also selling on eBay in bulk lots (not ALL of them, but 5 outfits or so together) does get good return.

I sold my daughter's baby clothes and all of her baby stuff - high chair, travel crib, etc - then I got pregnant again, with a girl and had to start all over - LOL. Make sure you're not going to have another child before you do that!

I would hang on to them. I know someone that was told after multiple ultrasounds that she was having a girl, on delivery day she, and her husband were very surprised to hear the doctor say "congratulations, it's a boy".

then try craigslist and put up each item seperately plus if u donate them and u do itemized taxes u can always get money back for the ones u donated on ur tax return and that could help out with money for the little girl

I have already donated many of them but I still have tons and I trust that I am having a girl because they have done more then one and every time they say for sure a girl. I would like to sell them because it would be nice to have etra money to put towards our little girl.

I would hang onto them onto your baby is born (because sometimes the ultrasound is wrong!). Do you have any friends you could give them to? Otherwise I would give them to a charity - there are always people who need them more than you do, and it feels good to help someone in need.

i would try Other Mother's they take clothes either for store credit or cash. or u could have a yard sale or ry craigslist or find a domestic violence shelter for moms usually when they leave their situation they don't have any extra clothes for kids. that's what i would do.

at a consignment shop where you give your clothes what ever sells you get money for them or you can try a mothers market

www.kijiji.com (one of my fave sites!) and it's town specific.

do you have a children's resale store near you (like Children's Orchard, www.childrensorchard.com for locations)? Otherwise try Craigslist, or just organize a mommy clothes sale/swap with other mom's in your area. Also if it's nice name brand stuff in excellent condition, try Ebay!
