Children’s clothing graded Like New is worth about 85% of the same item unused, which across this category is $6 to $40 (about £4 to £30). Worn a few times before it was outgrown. Bobbling at the knees or cuffs, or a name written in, puts it into Good.
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 New with Tags Children’s Clothing and one step down is Good Children’s Clothing.
