3. Check condition and age
Check the condition of all items in bright light. Look for stains, especially on cuffs, collars, knees, and seats of pants. Inspect shoe tips, insoles, and edges carefully. Do not pack stained clothes for sale, as they will not be accepted for sale.
We do not sell old clothes that have been in storage for a long time, as they generally don't have buyers. Demand for clothes over 5 years old is low. Kidia is not the best place to sell retro or vintage clothing.
- Is the garment clean or dirty?
- Are there stains, holes, wrinkles, or turned seams?
- Is the garment fluffy or wrinkled?
- Are the colours faded or the prints worn?
- Are there any buttons missing or a broken zipper?
- Has the garment turned grey or yellow?
- Are there sweat stains in armpits?
- Does the garment smell musty?
- Consider the age of the garment and whether it is out of fashion.
We only select products in neat condition for sale.
We do not choose to sell stained, worn or broken products.
We do not sell old clothes that have been in storage for a long time
4. Count every item - max 80 items
You can bring a maximum of 80 product for sale. You can bring items flexibly for both the children's and adults' sections.
- One price tag is counted as one item.
- Clear sets are counted as one item, such as shoes, two-piece nightwear, etc.
- You cannot make your own product bundles unless it's clearly a matching outfit set.
- Always pack outfits together.
- We may separate the sets during pricing if we determine that selling them individually would be more profitable
- You can sell small toys (such as Legos, etc.) as a single product, packaged together in, for example, a small bag. These are counted as one product. However, the toys must clearly belong to the same series or be similar in type.
- Socks and underwear can be sold in sets of 2-3 pairs, so one set equals one product.
- We do not sell sock bags with several pairs inside the bag.
Do not bring extra items. We will charge you for handling extra items according to our price list.
We do not handle large quantities of extra products.
5. Wash, care and iron
This is the most important step! Clean, smooth, and odor-free clothes sell best. By prepping the item before selling, you directly influence its selling price.
- Wash all clothes with a fragrance-free detergent.
- Iron all wrinkled clothes. Wrinkled clothes don't sell.
- Button your clothes.
- Remove the lint.
- Remove animal hair.
- Also wipe or wash shoes, toys and other accessories clean.
- Clothes that have been stored for a long time should be washed or aired.
We do not handle unbuttoned clothes for sale!

- Label all bags/boxes with your name.
