Selling kids things - what to do with the money?

Anything I sell goes in little uns bank.

I tend to put anything fetched from selling the kids old stuff towards new things for them

Ebay isn't great for selling toys as they are usually too heavy to be posted. (However, it's can be good for buying them as you sometimes find local bargains - see http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/local-ebay-deals/ )

Mumsnet and Gumtree used to be good, but I haven't had any success with bikes I've been trying to sell for 2 years.

Car boot sale prices are usually too low, but I may try this once.

Where else is good to sell toys?

As your daughter is young, I would probably save the money up and then when she wants something, then she has in effect 'bought it herself'.

As my kids got older I gave them the money. IMO if the proceeds come from the sale of something they got as a present then it is their money.
