Treasure Chest

I bought this chest from my facebook garage sale group. It was advertised as having children's costumes, dance outfits and formal wear. The seller was basically selling the chest and the clothing was free. Although the clothing wasn't exactly what I thought it would be, I had fun digging through it and hopefully something will sell.

Dance Outfits:

The cheerleader outfit had too many issues, so that ended back up on the garage sale group. The other 3 I listed on Ebay. There were actually 2 of each outfit, a medium and a large. Right now, I am running auctions on the mediums.

You can check out my auctions here.

There were a couple of outfits and hats I had to redonate. Maybe someone can fix them but I do not have the time or the ability.

The best part of the chest was finding the vintage clothing. This was marked in a separate box as formals: wedding dress and capes. I didn't find the wedding dress or the capes and these were the only formal dresses. They both look hand made.

The strap on the blue dress needs repair and unfortunately when I washed it with the pink dress, some of the pink coloring stained the blue dress under the arms. I listed the pink one on Ebay.

I wish some of the dresses were my size. I really love this black and white party dress. The black is velvet. You can see it here

Found some dresses from the 50's I think

I love the white flowers on the bottom of this dress

Lorrie Deb yellow dress

Youth Fair Petites

This is another velvet dress. I love the bead work on the bottom of it.

If anyone has any keywords or suggestions to get these to sell, please let me know. I don't list a lot of clothing but thought since I had it, I might as well give it the old college try.

Selling Clothes

I have been busy this week trying to list clothing on Ebay. I do not like selling clothes. They are hard for me to photograph, (I can never get the color right) I hate measuring and I think there is a high risk for returns. However, they are super easy to ship and do not take up much room.

The consignment shop had dollar tag clothes this week and today they added .50 cent tags. You have to search through all the racks to find the color tag because they are not sorted out. The store probably has 25+ racks and with Ryker, I am lucky to get through 3 before he acts up. Here are some of my favorites that I found. I may go back tomorrow as well.

I passed over this dress on Monday thinking no one would buy it because it is so long. I bought it on Tuesday and sold it within 10 minutes of listing it. I love the baby blue color but it wasn't my size.

This skirt sold fast too.

This golf skort is new with tags. I noticed the brand, Bobby Jones, sells discount items on Ebay. They are selling a similar one for $49.99

I was shocked to see another seller selling this swimsuit for $149.99 Mine also is new but is missing the outer store tag and the clerk tore off half the inside tag. It is by Louis Vuitton designer Stephen Sprouse.

I found this prom dress today. It also is new. It's very pretty and can't imagine spending $148 on something I never wore. The consignment shop price was $30 but I only paid $1 because it was the color tag. Poor consignee only got .50 cents from her investment.

Love the pink flowers on this dress

I normally do not look at baby clothes but who could resist this cute little dress from Tommy Hilfiger. Three different views. I listed this on my Facebook group.

I have some more but need to get listing. You can't sell it if you don't list it. Btw the two items I sold, paid for everything I bought this week so the rest is pure profit.
