Comments on: Who Wants These Big Clothes? http://coolmom.com/2009/01/07/who-wants-these-big-clothes/ parents don't know what they are doing anyway, might as well laugh about it Mon, 21 May 2012 19:40:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jessica http://coolmom.com/2009/01/07/who-wants-these-big-clothes/#comment-3230 Jessica Sun, 11 Jan 2009 01:28:00 +0000 http://coolmom.com/?p=2230#comment-3230 I've seen "lots" of maternity clothes sold on ebay. Lots, as in pay one price for the entire lot. Taking the pictures of everything and uploading them sounds kind of dreadful. How-evah, I have seen some quite innovative ebay sales. You could videotape a fashion show, and put a link on the ebay page (not sure they let you upload video). Advertise Cool Mom Daphne's maternity sale, tell a couple of fat people jokes, bing-bang-boom... SOLD! I’ve seen “lots” of maternity clothes sold on ebay.

We have 2 in the area that are mainly kids & mom shops and they take maternity. Or I'll craigslist the whole bunch and Freecycle or Goodwill anything that doesn't sell.

Not the high dollar stuff. I'd expect to pay more for that used stuff :) But a cotton tshirt... no way. … and I mean the Old Navy top women. Not the high dollar stuff.

I was a HUGE purchaser of all things maternity on ebay - 80% worked, 20% didn't because sizing was funky for some reason. I am absolutely contemplating a big resale/ebay push. . . makes so much sense. I hated the idea of spending a lot on maternity clothes I would never wear again. I am 22 weeks and, unlike my first pregnancy when I was SO psyched to be in real maternity clothes because "LOOK AT ME... I"M PREGNANT!," i have managed to use a belly expander with regular pants up until very recently, and have found that current sweater wrap styles actually are very accommodating of a pregnancy body, so that I will have them when this is all over too. In short, i'm not afraid to look ridiculous this time around (slightly short shirts etc.), particulary at home because it's too short a period of time and just not worth the moolah.
