This is my first pregnancy so I guess i have a while to go but I plan to give away some baby gear to friend and family and donate the clothes to charity

I sold most of the toys and gear and gave away all the clothes to a friend. As soon as Olive outgrows something, I'm going to sell/donate/give it away asap!

Probably all three. If I have a close friend or family member who can use it, I'll give it to them. Otherwise, I'll sell it on craigslist or at one of those "Just Between Friends" sales. Anything not sold, gets donated.

We have so much gently-used gear that we're storing in the attic for LM#2 or another baby in our extended family. We're the first of our generation to have kids, so we're sure to get more use of the items... it just stinks that we're the ones making the upfront investment!

I think it depends. if family and /or friends are still having babies I'll give it to them. If not the good things ill sell to consignment and the rest ill donate.

We are giving it away to friends and co-workers since we don't plan to have any more babies.

If I have family or friends to give things to that would be my first choice. If not, I'm selling it all off and putting the money in the kids bank accounts.

I gave everything to a friend. Whatever I couldn't give goes to the salvation army.

Some of it will get sold, some tossed, some given to my MIL to hold onto for future grandkids on her side, some saved by my mom for future grandkids on my side.

We'll loan some items to friends/family if we can trust them to give them back, and keep some items for baby number 2. Once we are done with kids we will probably do a little of everything (sell, pass along, and donate).

Most of what I had was handed down from family. By the time my daughter didn't need it, there was a new baby in the family to pass it on to. Now that I'm pregnant again, we'll get it all back!
It's saved so much money for all us- we have an excersaucers that's being used by a 5th kid, and my next one will be #6.
