Would you? There's a local consignment shop in my town that will take cloth diapers. I'm thinking about sending a lot over there instead of ebay or TP.

Pro: diapers stay in town for other FBKS mamas, I don't have to worry that my descriptions aren't adequately describing the diaper's condition. (Contrary to popular belief, many ebay sellers do work very hard to write a thourough and honest description diaper description)

Con: I'd have to drive across town with dd in tow, no garuntees that they would sell, and I'd get cash instead of paypal (so it would get piddled away on misc stuff instead of replacement diapers)

I have no idea about pricing, but I suspect that the hyenna stuff would sell for less. Noone locally is going to pay $30-40 for hyenna wool items etc and the store takes a 40% cut anyway. Even for fitteds, no-one locally is going to know that the SOS is worth more then the MEOS.

Anyway I'm thinking I'd rather send all but my prefolds to ebay. What do ya'll think? Can you think of other advantages to selling locally? What would you do?

Well, first I'd say... LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE FOR SALE

I didn't realize they took such a huge cut... OUCH!

Personally, I'd list them on ebay or the TP (after you let me look LOL). It's more of a PITA, but at least you'll make more money towards replacements.

Ouch. Nope, I wouldn't sell locally if the store took a 40% cut.

Bah! Its a nice thought, but so much more fun to list them on the TP and know they are really being appreaciated for what they are.. and sometimes you even "know" the mama who is buying them

Its so nice to hear back that your previous dipes are loved and appreciated in their new homes.

I have resold locally a few times- but only to people that I know that cloth diaper, not to a shop.

My local store only takes a 20% cut... even so! That's a big cut!

I would not sell locally. I usually hit my cd'ing friends up to let them know what I have and give them first chance. Then it's off to the tp or ebay!

Ouch! 40%!! Definitely try Ebay or TP or something else first. I know I've had fabulous luck w/Ebay - much more than Kittybids or WAHMchicks, unfortunately.

I've had everything sell on Ebay, most for a decent amount.

HTH!

I sell the girls' outgrown clothing at a resale store sometimes but not their Hanna stuff, or the higher end brands. Ebay gives a much bigger return, but there is certainly something to be said for not having to write all those descriptions, and get the packages all ready to send out! The hyena stuff I'd definately put on the TP and ebay first.
