Well here's an obvious answer. Ebay.

Otherwise you would need to set up your own website and have folks mail you their used clothes so you can add to your inventory to resell. It wouldn't be worth the expense and time for you to set up a website just to sell your kids clothes. However, it would be really risky for you (and time consuming) to take in the items and then decide they're not acceptable. Most people will be looking for cash reimbursement. You will have competition from similar sites and resale shops.

I used to own a children's resale shop and can tell you that people will try to sell you the most awful stuff (filthy or really old) and they honestly believe their items are worth money when it needs to be trashed. So having things come to you by mail would be tricky.
