Timing affects how quickly clothes find a new home. Selling items when other families need them makes the process easier.

Sell seasonal items early
List outerwear, boots and swimwear shortly before or at the start of the season, when families are looking for them.
Do not wait too long
Styles and sizes keep their appeal best when items are listed soon after your child grows out of them.
Keep a selling box
Put outgrown items straight into a box. When it is full, sort, wash and list everything in one session.
