Sell Used Baby Gear, Toys, Clothes and Books - Sort baby gear, toys, clothes and books into categories--the discard pile, the pass-on-to-someone-else pile and the sell pile. Dole out the "pass on" items to family and friends. Sort toys by age and/or category: blocks, cars, dolls, electronic toys.
Sort books by age. Repair torn pages as much as possible. Wipe down board and plastic books.
Sell Used Baby Gear, Toys, Clothes and Books
Sort clothing by gender and size. Wash clothes, removing stains if possible. Fold neatly or hang on hangers.
Hold a yard sale with other families who also have gear to sell. Place large items like climbing structures, strollers, and Cozy Coupes near the curb for drive-by visibility. Make grab bags of smaller items and sell them for a dollar or two. Organize items by category. (See How to Hold a Profitable Garage Sale.)
Take the "sell" pile to a kids' resale shop. Call the stores in your area to find out what they accept, what their buying hours are and how they pay (see How to Sell Used Clothing).
Is a tsunami of gear, toys and books taking over your house? It's time to clear out. Most kids don't play with the majority of their toys and books, and they certainly can't wear clothes that no longer fit. If you can't bear to give away those expensive new sandals your kid refuses to wear, it's time for eBay, baby! - by eHow
