OK, so I wanted to get rid of my daughter clothes in order to get some extra $ to pay down some debt.

I sell my toddlers clothes on Ebay regularly and have a lot of success. However, in my experience people will pay more for clothes at a yard sale because they can actually see the clothes in person. But a yard sale is a lot of work. I prefer Ebay. Why don't you just try posting a couple of things and see how it goes? Don't sell things on Ebay per item unless it is a coat or a very nice dress or somehting like that. Instead, list something like 3 shirts and 2 pants as one auction. People seem to respond to that better. Also, keep shipping prices low-but enough to cover shipping expenses. Good luck.

I know my sil buys her daughters clothes off ebay on a regular basis. I myself tend to buy my dgd's clothing at consignment and yard sales simply because then I can see the size easier. She is only 10 months and is about 22#. You may have better (faster) results with craigslist or if you are on facebook see if there is a parent swap list in your area, we have one here and a lot of parents sell their kids clothes, toys, and furniture that way.
