Hi


I sell used children's items on behalf of people who don't have time to use eBay, Gumtree, EDF etc themselves. I have mainly stuck to higher end, more expensive clothing but am getting numerous requests to sell lower priced kid's clothing which I would have to bundle up.


Could anyone give me some advice as to how these bundles should be put together?


I assume same age and sex is a prerequisite?


Does it need to be the same brand too?


How many items approx per bundle?


What sort of mix of clothing should it be? (I'm assuming all summer stuff together, winter stuff together etc)


What would you expect to pay for a standard High St label clothing bundle?


Any other tips would be appreciated before I start selling this stuff.


Thanks

Alfy

I'm expecting a girl in September but personally I'd love unisex bundles. I've kept my eye out for basics and small sizes but everything is either pink/purple butterflies or blue/brown tractors.


So if you were able to offer, perhaps as well as gendered bundles, neutral / unisex bundles whether plain or bright colours I'm sure there'd be a market in that! I'm not the only person looking for this kind of thing.


Price / size wise I'd be happy to buy either smaller bundles eg of 5-10 babygrows, or a bunch of leggings etc, or a larger mixed bundle. For plainer items such as vests, tshirts, all in ones, I'd not want to pay more than 50p per item; for outdoor type stuff, jumpers etc it would depend on the quality. But to be honest if I saw a bundle of which I'd use more than half (currently, I think well I'd only used a small proportion of that), I might pay more.

Bearing in mind that the cheapest new stuff you can buy (primark/asda) is 3 baby grows for a fiver, I wouldn't pay more than 50p for a second hand baby grow in good nick, or 20p for a vest

Socks are actually quite expensive for babies

If the bundles will be picked up rather than posted I would do ?5 bundles, say

5 baby grows

5 vests

Then make it up with some socks, couple of cardis


For older kids, say 3 dresses or 3 tops/trousers, again for a fiver.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
