Bundely

Any parent willtell you that children take

up a lot of time. Indeed, as the two

mothers behind this new site believe,

flogging kids’ items onexisting selling

sites can betoo much hassle. Instead,

they hope parents will sell and buy entire

lots of children’s clothes, shoes,toysand

more in targeted bundles through free

listings (with paymentsfor featured ads).

Buyers can searchbycategory or

keywordand filter theresults, but sellers

havetoarrange a meeting because sales

are made in person on a cash-only basis.

This limitsyou toyour local area and may

ultimately provemore time-consuming.
