The tags are still on them. What should I expect at a consignment shop in terms of payment? How do I know if I'm getting what they are worth? The tags are very inflated prices ($75 for a one pice outfit for a 24 month old!)
Maybe it's better to put them on e-bay? I don't have a lot of time to spare.

If it's an upper end consignment store, you will get more for them. If it's just an average neighborhood consignment store, you would probably do better with Ebay. However, if you won't realistically take the time to list them on Ebay, then of course, you may as well sell them at a consignment store. Hang on to any that may make good gifts for someone else.

If you go to a consignment shop you can expect to get 25% of fair market price.
I suggest putting the stuff on E-Bay in a lot. People love lots of baby clothes, and I have seen lots go for hundreds of dollars.
P.S. It's how I buy all of my kids' summer wardrobes.

i would use ebay. the thing that sucks is you will never get what you paid. If your not having anymore kids you can hold on to them for i would give them to a close friend who is pregnant as a gift. you will get more satisfaction out of giving a gift than you will out of the little bit of money you'll make back for them. I would check out ebay first though. Some people might pay alot for designer clothes for an infant. See if there are any selling. good luck

My experience has been that our local Dallas consignment shops don't give you anything. I'd put my stuff either on ebay or craigslist. Good luck!

i would put them on ebay. you will get more money for them that way. people going to consignment shops are expecting cheap things.

Are you answering your question or are we supposed to...?
I'm confused?
Either way...You're right about the answer to your question...
E-bay is better. Consignment shops are better for furniture.

I'd try Ebay - much faster results that consignment store.

honey go on ebay. you will get your money's worth on there. if you take them to a consignment store you won't get want you think you should. my daughter did that with her first child and didn't get what she expected.

Donate them to a Goodwill store and give them an estimate on what YOU think they are worth. They'll write you a receipt, and then you can count it on your taxes.
