E-Bay or Car boot?

Hi
I have loads and loads of excellent toys (most never even opened, never mind played with) and also some kids clothes to sell, My question is would I be better selling them on e-bay or doing a car boot, skint at the moment and could really do with the best prices possible for the toys.
Thanks in advance

    I'd look on ebay and see what they go for there and indeed if they actually sell. Then I would decide. With childrens clothes- branded stuff goes for more on ebay, although again I would check the prices. My preference is always ebay as there's no early morning required! Although postage and issues with buyers can happen which put me off sometimes.

    good luck!

    I find as a seller and buyer of baby and children's clothes on ebay myself, unless it's super designer (Dior, Burberry etc.) try to offer a bundle of items into either type, short sleeved shirts, grows or by store, Next, M&S. That way as a seller you are not having to package up many many individual items and as a buyer they will get a lovely big bundle of clothes.

    I would go the route of ebay first, having just done a car boot (busy with lots of new parents) you won't get decent price at car boot compared to what you can on ebay.
