selling stuff on?
do you sell your baby/childrens equipment toys and clothes on?
I have given lots away but I am hoping to move soon and just seem to have masses of toys to get rid of. I could also do with a little bit of extra cash as well.
Does anyone sell on e-bay? is it easy? how do you work out what post and packing to add? will the postal strike effect this? or do you use an alternate parcel delivery firm?
I organised a sale last year with some other mums to sell some stuff on which was ok but it was quite a hassle and although I sold quite a lot I was still left with quite a bit too!! there is a place locally that buy stuff but they only buy it for half of what they can sell on and are very choosy about what they do or don't buy.
any ideas welcome!

I haven't sold any of the baby stuff yet as obviously still using it for Jacob and we are crazy enough to be thinking of having a third so will need it again! I do swap clothes around friends though and lend equipment that I haven't needed. It usually works out well as I get lent things in return, plus get my old stuff back!
I would def use e-bay, I sold a car on it before we moved out here lol! Works quite well, just make sure you get the postage amount right and set a reserve if you don't want the item to sell for less than a certain amount. It may well be worth looking at an alternative for postal too as you say!
Other than that can you sell via things like netmums?
If you do sell on ebay be sure to put a link to what you are selling on here under pregnancy and baby - good audience to sell to!! x
