Prepping for My First Mom2Mom Sale

I’ve decided that it’s time to bite the bullet and prepare myself for my first Mom2Mom sale!

Why? Because I never realized the amount of clothing a little girl could go through in two short years of life! I managed to stay organized and box away clothing as she grew out of it just in case we had another daughter. It wasn’t until we moved into a new home recently that I realized just how much clothing we had sitting around.

I am not kidding when I say that in two years, my daughter has accumulated more clothing than I currently own or have owned in years. I have a minimum of 10 large storage containers busting at the seams with clothes (some of which I’m embarrassed to say, still have tags on).

Below is a simple list of advice that I have been given to help me prepare for my first Mom2Mom:

  1. Scope out local Mom2Mom sales and sign up (DMB puts out a list each month)!
  2. Organize all the clothing by size and type (onesies, pants, pajamas, etc.).
  3. Price items you have a lot of lower, you are likely to sell more of it.
  4. Buy cheap clear Ziploc bags so the clothes stay organized as people pick them up to look at them.
  5. Make sure you do all of the above gradually and not the night before the Mom2Mom sale.
  6. Use a dolly – borrow, beg, (don’t steal!) a dolly. This is apparently a necessity if you want to save your arms from falling off.
  7. Buy cheap hangers and stand up racks for certain items that you are selling as a set.
  8. Have lots of extra singles for change.
  9. Make sure to have lots of coffee the morning of the Mom2Mom.
  10. Join a local Mom2Mom sale group on Facebook to sell the remaining items (or sell all the items from the start)!

I will be sure to share my experience after attending my first Mom2Mom and I welcome any additional advise on planning for another!
