How to Be a Successful KidStuff Seller?
Read the Seller Info & Instructions First

Let us help you make the most profit from your unused KidStuff items! We’ve been helping families throughout Kentuckiana do us that for over 23 years!
- Our sellers love to clear clutter, make money and shop for great deals! We love providing the opportunity to do all three! We’ve developed some tips to help our sellers maximize their profits and reduce the amount of unsold merchandise. Once you have registered, we will send you a link to the private Seller Info and Update page of our website. After reading the instructions on the page feel free to reach out to us at support@kidstuffsale.com or (502)209-9899 for assistance. We’re happy to help!
- Let us help you achieve the best sell-through rate possible. KidStuff will provide the tools and tricks to make the most money from your unused KidStuff. No seller wants to go to the time and trouble to prep and tag items then carry home armloads of unsold, overpriced, or items with lost tags or that didn’t pass inspection. Those unsold items will be even older and more dated the following year and worth even less money. BONUS! We also have special incentives for those with high sell-through rates.

Preparing Your Items to Sell Well
Check out our tips below to best prepare your items to sell well
Pricing Your Items
Price right for big earning$!
The secret to great sell-thru:
Price your items to SELL!
- A good rule of thumb is to price items at 25–35% of the original retail value, depending on the brand and condition of the item. If you are struggling to price an item, ask yourself what you would pay for it if you were a shopper. For example, if you value the item at $5, price it at $3.50 or $4 to ensure it sells before Discount Day (see FAQ item 13).
- Say YES, to discount on your barcode tag – our most successful sellers always discount on Discount Day. If it is still there at the end of the sale it may be overpriced. You don’t want to carry home armloads of unsold garments!
- Everyone has lots of clothes to sell. In order to make money with your clothing items, you must price competitively. Only ask 1/3rd–1/4th of the retail price.
- If an item was gifted and you aren’t sure of the retail price, compare it to the prices of similar items currently online or in stores.
- If an item is like new, still has tags, or is a specialty item, consider pricing at 1/3rd of the retail price.
