Wawaweewa!
What’s she so excited about? Lunch? Nap time? Shiny thing?
How about a giant ass Snickers? Kablammo shazammo.
I didn’t bring it home with me. Seemed excessive. But one had to admire a pound of candy. I bet it really satisfies. And eventually nauseates.
Yeah, that’s little Avery Peppermint strapped to my chest in the background. Slept through the whole thing. It’s what she does. But that’s cool. There isn’t much you can say about the K-Mart experience that’s really worth being present for. Which probably explains why so many K-Mart Shoppers™ seem like zombies.
Why aren’t there more baby clothes consignment stores? Why isn’t there a baby clothes recycling operation online? Baby Gap clothes are made well enough to go through at least three babies. They only wear them for three months, then they’re up a size. Premium brands would go even further. Look, here’s the model, for free. You don’t have to give me a dime. Build a nice simple searchable interface. Let people sell for free. Let people buy for free. Buyers pay the shipping, all flat rate USPS. Colour photos welcome. Add a forum for product reviews. The whole site is user-moderated. What’s the revenue model, you ask? Where do I start? Sidebar ads. Embedded links. Premium services like storefronts and priority notifications. Build it and they will come. I know because we’ve been looking. Huge blue ocean market. Used frickin baby stuff, dude.
The last thing I need is another business idea to work on with all my spare time. So this one is up to somebody else.
It’s now December 9. In ten days we’re Canada-bound for the Xmassing. All sorts of things happening between now and then of course, but it’s bright on the radar. You can hear the sleigh bells jingling. Actually, you really can. We bought some for the Christmas pillar. I heart xmas. My girls do, too. Sigh. Happy.
I use to shop ebay for all my baby clothes. Gymboree had some really cute things way back then, good quality too. You can resell the clothes on ebay for almost as much as you paid for them. If you typw “lot” into the search and then define by size and gender you should find some good deals. Kids grow too fast to buy new!
