If you’re overrun with kids clothes your children have outgrown, consider holding a baby clothing yard to clear out the clutter and make some money. Selling used children’s clothes is an easy way to make money and give new parents a chance to purchase a few things for their infants or toddlers at a fraction of the retail price. The key to a successful baby and kid’s garage sale is organization and displaying your items well.

Sort the items you want to sell into categories. You might decide to group the clothing by size, or you might organize by type of garment, such as shirts, pants, dresses and shoes. This will help customers find what they are looking for quickly and easily.

Be honest with yourself about the condition of the clothes you are planning to sell. No matter how cute the smocked pink dress is, you are unlikely to get much for it if it has been covered in food stains and diaper blowouts. The same goes for the adorable little white onesies – if they are covered in tough stains, don’t bother trying to sell them. Instead, offer them to a friend or family member with a newborn, who can use some free hand-me-downs.

Check out what other garage salers are charging for the clothing you are offering. You don’t want to undersell yourself and leave with pennies in your pocket, but you also don’t want to overprice your merchandise either. You can use local Facebook Marketplace and buy-and-sell groups to see what others are selling for, or you could even check out some online resources like ThredUp.

Hanging clothes on a clothing rack is one of the best ways to display them at a garage sale. This will keep them clean and off the ground, so that they won’t become dirty or disorganized when people rifle through them. This can make them easier to browse and can look more appealing to shoppers, too.

Depending on the items you have, you may want to use a clothing hanger with dividers that can be moved around to create sections for various sizes of clothing. This will make it easy for shoppers to find what they are looking for and will allow you to be more efficient in organizing your baby and kid’s garage sale.

When you are arranging your items for the sale, be sure to include a sign explaining what you are selling. This will prevent customers from asking “what is this?” and may even attract more shoppers to your sales.

Hopefully, with good pricing and advertising and these tips for organizing kid and baby clothes at a garage sale, you will have sold most of your items by the end of your event. If not, don’t be afraid to take any clean, unsold items to a children’s consignment shop. They will go through your items to see what they can resell, and they will pay you for any that they accept.
