You aren't getting people that are looking for rock bottom prices but people that are willing to pay for quality but just not new. </p> <p>For example, a $100 jumper toy, I would think would only maybe sell for $30 on CL (probably $25 after they haggle). At the consignment place, you could list it easily for $45 and get 1/3 of that and know with fair certainty that it will be gone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/consignment-sale-or-craigslist#post-931922 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:56:03 +0000 pinkcupcake 931922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try my hand at CL first and whatever doesn't sell, take to the consignment sale. But I'm a SAHM so I have more flexibility to meet up w/ ppl and stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/consignment-sale-or-craigslist#post-931887 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:47:49 +0000 MaisyMay 931887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on doing one of our Fall JBF events. There are enough around me that if something doesn't sell, I can take it to another sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/consignment-sale-or-craigslist#post-931875 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:44:49 +0000 chopsuey 931875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would sell at a consignment store. Easier and less stress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/consignment-sale-or-craigslist#post-931843 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:32:40 +0000 mediagirl 931843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some things I want to sell (I'm finally ready to let go of them) but I'm trying to figure out if I want to sell them at the consignment sale next week or on craigslist. </p> <p>The items I'm thinking of selling are the snugabunny swing, fisher price bouncy seat, some bottles and my infant car seat. I'll also probably sell some bulk onesies and sleepers.</p> <p>Consignment sale:<br /> Takes 1/3 of the asking price<br /> Everything will sell<br /> Easy sale, no worrying about no shows<br /> Bonus: I get in a day early if I sell</p> <p>Craigslist:<br /> Get asking price<br /> Waiting for a buyer, haggling<br /> Worrying about no shows</p> <p>WWYD? I'm leaning towards selling just so I can get in a day early. A lot of good stuff is gone even before the first day because volunteers get in first, then sellers get in. </p>
