{Operation Make Room For Baby} Step 1: Selling What We Don’t Need

make room for babyOperation Make Room for Baby is in full effect!

I am now 18 weeks pregnant, so the reality that there will be another little person in the house soon is starting to sink in.  My older children share a bedroom, but my husband and I decided that it would be best to not rock their world entirely by putting the baby in that room too, so we are repurposing my office to be part office, part nursery.

The room is 12×12, and right now is my office and the dumping ground for just about everything.  In order to make this space usable we have a huge undertaking of clearing out the room and getting rid of everything we don’t need.

While we could just donate the majority of the items, we are also on a tight budget, and don’t have money just lying around to use for a project like this, so I decided that I’m going to sell what I can and use the money I make for this new project.

In the past, I have used eBay for selling the random item here and there, but honestly, I don’t want to be bothered with shipping & handling right now and worrying about the fees that PayPal takes out for each transaction.  Instead, I have gone the route of online consignment groups.

There are tons of consignment groups on Facebook, each designated for a specific geographical region.  Some groups only accept clothing, others only accept items for babies and children.  I prefer the one-stop-shop groups where I can sell just about everything in my home.

This weekend I have posted about 20 items, and more than half have already sold.  Now I will be meeting up with people locally to give them their items.  Its so much easier than I could have ever imagined.

Want to join a group in your area?  Click on the link for the group in your geographic region.

Anyone who joins one of the above groups will need to be approved by an admin before they can start participating on the page.  Make sure you have your profile picture & your city set to public, as only people in the designated regions will be approved to participate in the group.

Once you are approved, please remember to read the group rules since each group is a little bit different in what they allow to be sold, and how they want you to post photos.

Are you the admin of another online consignment group?  Comment below with the name of your group and the region served.

10 Tips for Having A Successful Yard Sale

My goal for 2012 is to declutter my life and simplify my surroundings.  I spent the first few months going through boxes and the closets and getting rid of things we don’t need.  I have had boxes that I’ve been sorting items into – trash, recycle, donate, BDFL, and yard sale.  With the consignment sale being over, trash & recycle have been to the curb many times over, donations have been dropped off, that leaves the multitude of boxes for the yard sale.

We were originally going to have our first yard sale of the season this weekend, but with the weather being kind of bleh, we are going to hold off until May.  So that gives me two more weeks to plan, promote, sort, organize, tag, and get ready to clean house!

When I started looking to write up a post on having a successful yard sale, I realized that Crystal over at Money Saving Mom summed it up better than I could.  Check out what she has to say about having a successful sale.

Check out her post, then feel free to share your own tips, tricks or questions about having a yard sale here!  I’d love to here your success stories, or your nightmares so that we can all learn from this experience together.
