If you have children, you know those first few years absolutely fly by. Some babies emerge into the world and don’t even fit in newborn clothing. Parents so often overbuy clothes for their children because they look cute or we adore the patterns. However with the speed that babies grow, they might only wear an outfit a handful of times. Let’s have a look at how you can make some extra money selling baby clothes online.
Selling Second Hand
If you are looking to clear out some old belongings, you can probably start with a bag of baby clothes that no longer fit any of your children. We tend to hang onto things longer than we should. If we get rid of them by selling them on we can free up space and add some cash to your bank accounts. There is money in second hand baby clothes, especially as most of them still have plenty of wears left in them. If you buy branded clothing it will be worth even more however all baby outfits will be of value to someone.
Buying New & Selling On
Of course, you don’t even have to have children of your own to start selling baby clothes online. Shop the sales and find absolute bargains at closing down events. Then list them on the internet at the price the RRP or higher. An example of this is when Little Bird stopped being sold at Mothercare because it closed down. There were lots of bargains to be bought and many people listed them online and in Facebook groups for sale. If you can find discounted goods that have appeal can demand, you can earn a tidy profit.
Wash, Store & Bundle

Where To Sell?
Be sure to look at fee free platforms such as Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree. The huge advantage of these is that customers will actually come to your house and collect, paying you cash in hand.
