Likewise, Supergirl, at the moment I don't know what I'm having (ie boy or girl), but will know in a months time. So while I have all the white basics from mothercare, I will definitely be in the market for some nice little things as soon as the baby is born; if you do put anything on Annabels arcade, I'll definitely take a look..

Thank you for your message, this is what i feared...
So not sure what to do!

@bamsee and sfmc: it is baby clothes from birth to 1-2yrs and a bit of 2-3 girls. Let me know if you re interested

I would also be interested in seeing what you had if you wanted to sell a bundle... looking for baby girl clothes - size 6months+.

Maybe try Annabel's Arcade on here?
Taking photos can be a hassle if you have a lot...

I did one recently and agree with the others that I was surprised by what sold. I did make around £250 so still felt worth it & was pleased to have a clear out! not as busy as I thought it would be though.

I'm a avid shopper of French brands so depending on size / gender on offer would be interested in seeing what you have :D

Went to one a couple of years ago but none of the lovely clothes in excellent condition sold, apart from a couple of items. Have found Ebay a better bet for items from Jacadi or Petit Bateau - but far more time consuming.
Like the previous poster I was slightly baffled by what sold and what didn't. It worked for us as we also had lots of big items to sell, pram etc and they all sold for a very good price so I felt we hadn't wasted our time.

I did one to clear our loft of pink stuff as soon as I found out my bump was blue.
It was definitely worth it to get rid of a lot of a lot of stuff in one go but I was pretty surprised by what sold and what didn't. I buy second hand to get better quality stuff but people cleared out my baskets of £2 crappy 'nursery' stuff but left a lot of nice Gap dress/knicker sets for example. At about £4 and in lovely condition that's what I would have been looking for and I managed to get decent prices later on eBay. The other items that went well were fancy dress, coats, Clarks shoes and boots. At the end I met a friend from work's wife who was selling boy stuff and having a girl so we swapped a load of stuff.
I haven't been to any others but this was at the Aspire Centre in Southfields and quieter than I thought it would be.
After paying the fee and buying a rail I probably made about £120 but it was the cleansing feeling that made it worthwhile :-)

I have lots and lots and lots of baby stuff to sale. All in pristine conditions, french brands.
When i say a lot, i mean a lot!

I want to sell them, i m not looking to make my miney back but i dont want to sell them for a £1-2... So is the NCT sale worth my efforts ie. A whole saturday pretty much, or is it just like a flea market?

Many thanks for taking the time.
Please NCT organisers do not reply, i would like the views of people who have sold in the past and want to comment freely. Thanks.

Supergirl
