\"thredUP\"<\/p>\n

When you have kids you buy lots of clothing. Not to mention shoes, boots, coats, jackets\u2026 You know the drill. This means you also have lots of outgrown clothing.<\/p>\n

What do you do with the clothing and shoes your kids have outgrown?<\/p>\n

While I do give some away to charity and friends, there are certain items that I want to see a bit of ROI on, like; expensive tennis shoes, barely worn expensive shoes, nice coats and clothing that is in like new condition. A local consignment shop purchases gently worn items that I\u2019ve sold to over the past many years. Now that my kids are getting older the shop takes less and less. Especially those tennis shoes we keep accumulating.<\/p>\n

With yet another tote full of nice children\u2019s items headed for the Goodwill bin, I decided to do a little more investigating. That\u2019s when I came across thredUP<\/strong><\/a>. This online store sells super cute pre-owned items for women, juniors, and kids. And guess what? They also buy your old stuff.<\/p>\n

Here is how thredUP works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You order one of their Clean Out Bags<\/strong><\/a> and fill it with your \u201clike-new quality\u201d items. Use the Clothing Calculator<\/strong> <\/a>to estimate your payout.<\/p>\n

Next, give the Clean Out Bag to your mail carrier or drop it off at a FedEx. The bag comes with a prepaid shipping label so shipping is on them.<\/p>\n

After a review of your items, thredUP pays you up to 80% of resale value. Use either as store credit or get paid through PayPal.<\/p>\n

What about the stuff they don\u2019t want? thredUP sends it on to one of their charitable partners<\/strong><\/a> or a textile recycling company. \u00a0You can even create your own fundraising group<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0What better way to raise money for a school than to sell your used children’s clothing.<\/p>\n

This sounds like a great deal to me. How about you? Have you given thredUP a try?<\/strong><\/p>\n
