We went to court last week and I also moved out of the house last week. Now I have him packing up all my stuff for me because he wants "everything" out! He brings stuff over by the carload.
I've moved into an apartment with a one car garage and my garage is now full of boxes, etc. Most of the clothes and some shoes don't fit me anymore, either too big or too small. And honestly, I really, really need the money!! I also have kids clothes and shoes that my children have outgrown.
Can any of you very knowledgeable MAMAs tell me where there are resale shops that will buy adult clothes, shoes, etc and also ones that will buy childrens things as well??? And also, How much should I expect to receive for my items?
I'm in North Richland Hills right now. Please Help!!!
THANKS in advance for all your help!
S.

You might also want to try the resale place on Davis Blvd. and Tarrant Parkway in NRH for the kids clothes- they seem to pay pretty well and they're super nice there. I'm sorry I can't think of the name right now. It's across the way from Wal-Mart and Target. (Be aware that these stores will only take "in season" clothing.)
As far as your clothing, you might try Diva Lounge in Old Town Keller or the resale store in NRH that's on Blvd 26 near TCC.

Garage Sale might put more money in your pocket faster. If you price t-shirts at a dollar and shirts at 1-2 dollars and shoes and jeans at 3-4 dollars, it adds up fast. People are looking for bargins now and this might net you more than the resale shops in the lond run. Good luck!

For the kids clothes, take them to kid to kid. I love that place! Also, you might have a Unce upon a child near you. Look online. As far as your clothes go, google consignment shops with your zip code or city. I'm sure it'll bring something up.

If you haven't already found a local shop. Try a site called GumdropSwap (http://gumdropswap.com). You can swap from anywhere in the US by sending the clothes your kids outgrow to this kids boutique in CT. It's instant gratification. As long your things are in good condition they don't turn down anything because of brand, size or season. They take everything unlike resale store like Once Upon a Child! They give you points to shop on the website and send the clothes that fit your kids. It's great if you don't have time, patience or know how to do consignment, Ebay, craigslist, tag sale, etc.

For the kids clothes take them to Kid to Kid in Bedford off of Central, by McDonalds. For your clothes, you could try Plato's Closet in Colleyville by Target. HTH

A new Once Upon A Child store will be opening this Fall 2010 in McKinney on Eldorado and Hardin. The website is:

www.onceuponachildmckinney.com

If you have hardline items such as furniture and accessories, those are being purchased now. Send your inquiries to ____@____.com, someone will contact you and process your goods and pay you cash on the spot (your home for now).

You can sign up on their website for promotions, discounts, etc. The store will be opened to buy in Sept 2010. No appointment, cash on the spot for kids clothes, furniture and accessories. Example: Strollers, walkers, toys, books, DVDs. Clothes in demand are toddler ages. Read the website for more information.

Once Upon A Child - McKinney will also be hiring between 12 to 15 people both full time and part time.

Be looking out for more news to come in the upcoming weeks.

Hi Susan,

The resale shops will only give you a small percentage of their sale price. If you need $$ immediately try Craigslist and sell in bulk (or single pieces, if they are really nice).

If you can afford to wait just a little bit, the very best place to sell kids clothing and maternity clothes and toys, kids accessories, decor, etc and nice furniture, is the JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS (JBF) Sale. They have them every 6 months and you will earn between 65% and 75% on each of your items. You do have to hang and price your items yourself, but it's worth it! I always make a ton of money and it's worth the effort. Check out JBFSale.com (I think) or Google it....

Hope this helps,

K.

Check out Kid to Kid, they have locations all over. Look up resale in the yellow pages and you can call locations close to you to check their policies. Good luck.

I take my kids' clothes to Kid to Kid in Arlington, off Cooper and Arbrook. The smaller women's clothes go to Rerun Resale on Park Row in west Arlington. There are many places that will do consignment. I am plus size, and I take those clothes to Plus Size Resale on the corner of Cooper and Sublett in Arlington or to North's Plus Resale shop on Arkansas and Park Springs. They don't pay much, but I find that I get more than I would at a garage sale. They are, however, quite picky about what they will take. Good luck! I have been in your situation and it hurts. God Bless You, B.

I dont know if you have the time, but you will get more on Craigslist. The resale shops, well Once Upon a Child, gives $0.20-0.40 on the dollar for the clothing value. I have sold groups or 'lots' of clothing of one size for a set price and get more of a response than if selling one piece at a time. But a really nice outfit or pair of shoes will sell by itself, too. Maybe try the resale shops and see if you are happy with what they will give you. I am not sure where you live, but in Arlington we have Kid to Kid and Once Upon a Child closed. Platos Closet is a good place if you have name brand clothing. I googled and found this site which lists other resale shops in the DFW area http://www.consignmentdallas.com/list_clothing.htm
