NCT maternity

Hello,

I am selling some maternity clothes at an NCT sale this week and am not sure what sort of prices they go for. They are a friends, so I do want them to sell but equally I don't want to undersell (relative to other sellers); especially as NCT takes 30%.

So that I have an idea, what would you expect to pay, at a nearly new sale for;

Pair of black work trousers
Long sleeve plain top (everything in excellent condition)

I was thinking perhaps £7.50 each, as that would give £5 per item after the 30% deduction. Would I be pricing myself out?

Any nearly new salers have any thoughts?

    I don't know anything about NCT sales but I think it sounds perhaps a bit expensive for second hand clothes unless they are particular high quality / designer.

    OK thank you I will revise downwards! What about £4 each? They are good quality and condition, but not designer.

    £4 each sounds ok, £7.50 is probably too high. Price low and sell more is always my tactic at those sales.

    It hardly seems worth the effort.

    Maternity clothes don't sell well at our local sales, I've been putting mine back in at £3-4 and reducing them each time. I bought lots when I needed them and only ever spent around £3 or £4 on each item.

    Depending on the size of clothing, you may get a better take up and price by selling as a bundle on ebay.

    Have a look on completed listings to see if anything similar quantity and label wise has sold recently to gauge prices.
