Today I have started the task of sorting through all of the donations and assigning a dollar value to each item group, so that there will be minimal confusion when parents come to trade. You will find the pricing chart in the post below. I'm calling it my "First Draft" because I will need to add items to the list as they come in or as parents email me to ask about. Please email me if you notice something missing or if you have a question regarding a certain item group!
I've decided base pricing on item groups and NOT sizes. For example, a shirt is a shirt is a shirt! No matter if it's a newborn or a 3T, it's the same value.
I realize that a lot of parents put value in a "High End Name Brand" item and I can appreciate that. However, nothing in the trading post will be assigned a value of more than $5. This goes towards my mission of providing a budget friendly alternative for parents and making the service affordable to all.
I will have more in tomorrow's post about what clothes will be acceptable for trade and what is not. I will also go over the process of the trade and answer any questions that you all might have!
Thanks for your support! I believe that this will be a huge success and benefit to all involved and I hope to see you all in March!

- I started the Kids Clothing Trading Post back in March, 2010 with just two racks and a few bins of clothes. In just 6 months we grew to 16 racks and tons of bins with more in backstock! Finally in October we built a 10x20 shed in our yard to house the KCTP and it is fabulous! Our community has come together in a huge way and we want you to join in on the fun!
