How to Buy Gymboree for Resale

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Internet access
Gymboree Store
Gymboree Credit Card
Gymbucks
Money

Step 1

First you will want to have access to a Gymboree store, not an outlet. The thing about Gymboree is because it sells only it’s brand it has more room for markdowns and sales. There is no middle man to say. Their web-site is so available that it’s harder to find the better money making deals. I’ve always had better luck with the stores.
Step 2

I sold this dress for 25.00 and paid 6.00

You will want to get to learn when they have their sales, when they make mark downs and have special coupons. Sign up for their calling list, email list on line and get in good with the workers. Ask when a sale is coming up.
Step 3

I sold this outfit for 36.00 and paid around 15.00 for it!

There are certain times of the year that gymbucks are offered. These are coupons that for every $50 worth of product you buy now, you will receive a coupon for $25 off a $50 purchase at a later date. If you are really into making some money resaling Gymboree I have found the best way to deal with gymbucks is this. Buy clearance items when there is extra % of a total sale and it’s time earn gymbucks. After you receive your gymbucks, sell them or trade them for something you will actually use of equal value. I have learned that the dates to redeem gymbucks are also the dates that it is mostly new lines on the sales floor and very little mark downs.
Step 4

Another important key to saving a bundle at Gymboree is using their Gymboree credit card. You get automatic savings in the store plus cashback for a Gymboree Gift card for free product. Free product equals 100% profit! Sometimes there will also be promotions and exclusives for Gymboree credit card holders only.
Step 5

If you live close to a Gymboree you will want to frequent them. Gymboree has an excellent return policy and I have found most of my best money turning buys from returns. This is when someone bought something in season and returned much out of season. I have gotten dresses for as little as $3 and resold them for $25.
Step 6

The key to getting the most out of your Gymboree is to learn the lines. Most mommies are very familiar with the lines. They will conduct their searches by the line names. There are web-sites that list past year lines. You can also sign up for membership, tips and hints there as well. The high in demand lines will also be a subject to find at these sites. I will list some in the resources.
Step 7

Another trick to getting the most out of your listings is to search the item you have and see how much it’s bringing. If there are tons of listings for the item you have, you will want to wait until a later date to list it. To make money you want high in demand Gymboree products, not over saturated. If it seems to be bringing in a good price, schedule yours to end at a high traffic time of the day.
Step 8

I always had better luck selling Gymboree products if I had a matching accessories to match the item like a hat, socks or hair clips.
Step 9

Some people will also look for Gymboree auctions to buy for resale but it’s best to buy items directly from the store if you have access to one. If you want to look at auctions ending very soon at odd times of the day. There is money to be made and if not looking to make money you can apply these steps to buy your child's clothing. I have bought items for my son and sold them used more than I paid new. Good luck on buying Gymboree for resale and putting that Gymboree credit card to good use!
