| - This store is a place to buy gently used items for cash or via trade (assuming you bring items in that you can be offered cash for or in-store trade).
Now, I almost always buy my clothing at thrift shops for like $1 or so, unless there is a splerge item Ive been wanting. I have an eye for good clothing and there are MANY people who give great clothing away. When I bring things in for trade, I'm never miserable thinking about how much I paid for things--if you are trying to gain back the full price you spent or close to it, don't do this and maybe try consignment (although that never gets you that much either, but you can get more than trade). If its a really high end item, I would go the route of consignment instead.
This place is great for kids clothes and baby toys like bouncy chairs, play tables etc. I have been bringing my daughters clothes here since she was in newborn sizes and have had enough trade to get her play clothes. I am not sure about the clothing as she gets older, but baby clothes are used for such a short amount of time, that all the play clothes I have gotten her have been in great shape (think jeans, overalls, tees and onsies).
For myself, this is a good place for rotating my work clothes or casual clothing for going to the park or farmers market with my daughter and hubby. I have found some high end items here, but that is NOT the focus as they look more for trendy looking items. I found no real difference in price between Forever 21 and higher end designer items.
Beware worn items. Like all used clothing, its on the buyer to look for holes, stains, pulls etc. Also, beware of knock-offs. While they are good at usually not selling these items at a premium, I have spotted on 2 occasions fake Tiffany and Co. sold for a good amount of $, not Tiffany expensive, but definitly at a premium compared to thier usual prices. I think its just an honest mistake, but be careful. The bags are usually Michael Kors and Coach and are authentic from what I can see. I brought some used bags myself and they took good care at looking at them for authenticity.
Happy shopping! You should DEF check this place out! Plus the staff is really very nice. =)
