When Kids Grow Like Weeds…

While clothing may be an investment for us grownups that we can wear year after, it is just not that way for the knee-high ones. Unless we are talking about a special event outfit that is worn once and passed down, like a christening gown, it doesn’t matter if you pay $500 or $; it will be outgrown in 6 months. That is why perhaps folks who collect childrens’ clothing from different eras have such a tough time. It’s scarce because it was beaten up well. Also, there is not a huge market for collectible kids’ wear until it is quite old (60+ years) due to few changes in classic items. The recent phenomena of folks snapping up character T-shirts form the 80s is truly that – a recent phenomena.
Supaswap allows parents to sell and swap gently used children’s clothing, sunglasses and games for all ages. There are other items on there like books and camcorders, but it is mainly targeted at parents. Sure, you can sell things at a yard sale or troll the ‘bay, but you always end up being stuck with things and buying too much. Right now, it seems that there are more items in the UK than the USA, but that will probably change as words spreads. I am going to sit back and see how it unfolds as the concept has potential. The homepage defaults to British Pounds, but click on the appropriate flag on the bottom of the screen and it will all be translated for you. You may not get rich. It’s not for that, but you may break even or be able to swap for items that can actually be used for the next growth spurt or learning stage for games.
