| - I love shopping but hate spending precious $. I typically shop gently used/consignment shops and have been shopping at these types of stores for awhile now. My kids love it here because it's a store "just for them" and they have an enclosed play area too so mom/dad can shop while they play. :)
This store is organized and the staff is very sweet. They have loads of clothing that is in good/great condition. The only "wish" I have is that their prices were a bit less. I bought a button up shirt for $3.50 and a nice jacket and pant suit for $7.50. I would have been happy with a $2.00 shirt and $6.00 set but oh well...they were both really cute and still cheaper than buying brand new.
As far as baby gear, the prices again are a bit high but you can be sure none of their gear is expired and doesn't have recalls on it. You can't always be sure of these things if you buy from CraigsList or garage sale sites. Still, cheaper than buying brand new and in good-great condition.
They have a customer rewards program too. You get a stamp for every $10 you spend. Once you have so many stamps on their reward card, you get 15% off your entire next purchase. Not amazing but still, money saved.
I didn't trade anything in but I have at other places like this before. One thing I will say is if you are expecting to get even close to what you paid for the item; don't bring it to places of this nature. To be honest, when I shop on garage sale type sites and people are asking $60 for a used swing or something of that sort, it is quite irritating. I typically won't pay over 30% of what I can get it for retail if I'm buying from a private seller. At least I can understand with a brick and mortar business because they have lots of overhead but they do alot of leg work with recalls/expiration dates and they are typically a bit more discriminatory when it comes to accepting items. Nevertheless, if you just want to get rid of your items and make a few bucks then yes, this would be a good place to come. Also don't expect to bring in all of your winter items at the beginning of summer and expect to get top dollar; regardless of what condition your clothes are in.
I do wish they had more boys accessories; bow tie's, tie's, suspenders, etc. Overall, it's a cool little store and I bought 2 button up boy shirts, 1 boy jacket and pant set, a seersucker kids jacket, a pair of Nike shoes for an 8 year old girl, and a pair of girls tights for $33! Score!
