You\u2019ve found what looks like a great deal for kids\u2019 clothes\u20262x your bid in clothing. Who wouldn\u2019t want to get their hands on $100 worth of clothing for $50? And hey, look, it\u2019s Gymboree! That stuff costs an arm and a leg, this is a killer deal! Woo, yay, hoohaa!<\/p>\n
Hold on there, Nelly. Did you read the whole ad? That\u2019s two times your bid in RETAIL price. If that still sounds good, then go and check out www.gymboree.com. Look for the proper size and style you want for your little prince or princess, then calculate the prices. If you bid on one of these popular 2x your bid auctions, you will not be getting a huge amount of clothing unless your bid is very high.<\/p>\n
If you can afford to place a really high bid, then you\u2019re in luck. But for those on a tight budget, I suggest looking for other auctions. It would be very disappointing to place a low bid and only receive one item. There are plenty of auctions for Gymboree clothing, plus other quality names like GAP, Baby GAP, Disney, Healthtex, and The Children\u2019s Place.<\/p>\n
Keep a shrewd eye on the shipping and handling. While I am willing to pay more for a large lot since it takes the seller time to package the items, even if they are reusing an old box, drive it to the post office, and pay postage. I think about the washing and folding, then packing when I look at their shipping and handling rate. For many clothing items in one lot, I don\u2019t mind paying $15 to $20 for the s+h. More than that? I skip it unless it\u2019s a really, really nice lot.<\/p>\n
One more tip\u2026try some misspellings of what you\u2019re looking for. Also, don\u2019t go directly to the proper section. Try typing in your search in the All Categories choice. You may find things in odd areas! I once found a lovely lot of clothing for a low, low price because it had accidentally been placed with socks. Go figure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
