I just heard about Thred Up ... I'm intrigued.
We buy most of LO's preschool clothes at local consignment stores, but some of the deals on TU are much better.
Also, their women's clothing selection is huge, and I love how it lets you sort the results.
Have you ever purchased from that site?? Were the items as they were described?
And, have you ever sold anything on the site? Is it easy?

I've never bought from them, but I recently sold!
It could not have been easier. I ordered a giant plastic bag from them for free, filled it, closed it, and left it on my porch for USPS to pick up for free. All that said, I got 13 and change for about a garbage bags worth of clothes. It's definitely less than I could have made selling the clothes in smaller lots or individually on FB swap groups etc., but I didn't want the hassle.
Considering the ease of sending it to them, I just thought about it like I was sending the clothes to goodwill and any $$ I made was a bonus...

I have bought and sold from them. They don't give you much when you sell, but it is really easy to send stuff in. When I have bought, I did receive some items that were not as they described (one was a completely different size, one was more worn than I anticipated), but they offered me free return shipping due to the issues, so that was good. I did keep some things, and I thought I got a great deal on them. They can take quite a bit of time in shipping, processing returns, and processing sales. Overall, I think they are a decent site.
@T.H.O.U.: Twice was the one that closed. I liked them more (they gave you more money for sales, and everything processed faster).
