Second-hand kids’ clothing in Salem, Oregon typically sells for $7 to $47. Age range and bundle size decide most of it, and condition decides the rest. A full bundle of one size sells faster and for more in total than the same items priced separately.
Buying kids’ clothing in Salem
Salem is the state capital, sitting in a fertile valley that is one of the country’s significant wine and grass seed growing regions. It has a capitol topped by a gilded figure and a long agricultural processing history.
Children’s clothing is outgrown rather than worn out, so it comes onto the local market in genuinely good condition and usually in bundles. Buying a stage at a time from someone a few streets away is far cheaper than buying it new.
What to check in person
Go through a bundle piece by piece rather than accepting a count, since the bottom of a bag is where the tired items sit. Hold pale colours to the light for the food and grass marks that photographs never pick up.
Collecting it in Salem
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The city is small enough to cross in about twenty minutes, so meeting near whichever side the item has to end up on costs almost nothing. Rain is frequent for much of the year, so agree a covered spot or a fallback for anything that must be loaded outdoors.
