VIDEO: Saving with 6abc: Kids' consignment online at Moxie Jean
The creator of Moxie Jean says it?s the easiest way for parents to buy and sell their gently used, high-quality baby and kids' clothes.

A $198 Reset boy's quilted parka for $80. An $82 Ooh La La top and "skegging" set for $30. And a $36 neon yellow Justice top for just $13.



Those are just a few of the deals on kids' clothing and shoes you can find on MoxieJean.com.



Chicago mother-of-three, Sharon Schneider, who founded the site, explains, "Moxie Jean is the easiest way for parents to buy and sell their gently used, high-quality baby and kids' clothes.So, we are like a traditional consignment store, upscale re-sale they call it, but all done online."



Sellers send their gently used children's clothing to Moxie Jean. The items are inspected, and if they pass muster, put on the site for about 75% off new retail.



Schneider says, "We are checking not only for stains, and for excessive wash wear, that's probably the biggest is the wash wear. But we're also looking for sequins that have come off or zippers that are chipped or really, any kind of problem. It has to be in really excellent condition."



Items that don't make the cut are donated to charity. And once the item sells, sellers get one-third of the purchase price, while buyers save big. Schneider showed us an Hanna Andersson dress that retails for about $60, but is on Moxie Jean for about $15.



And the site offers a money-back guarantee, along with free return shipping.



Schneider says the site is perfect for back-to-school shopping, especially when you don't to drag your kids to the mall.



She says, "What's different about Moxie Jean is that we offer all the same brands as at the mall. So, it's Justice and Land's End and Hanna Andersson, but it's 75% off retail because it's very gently used."
