A For Parts listing is priced for what can be recovered from it rather than for use, so children’s clothing at this grade is worth roughly 25% of top price — $2 to $12 (about £1 to £9). Bundled for fabric, craft or rags. Sewers buy children’s clothes by weight for quilting and patching, and it is a real market.
Where the line falls
Children’s clothes are outgrown long before they wear out, so the real question is how many children have already had it.
For comparison, one grade up is Fair Children’s Clothing.
What children’s clothing is worth here

On a typical $7 listing, a marketplace charging 20% takes $1, one charging 13.6% takes $1 and one charging 10% takes $1. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $7. Listing is free.
