Once Upon A Child

I always get great deals here. When buying or selling second hand items people need to remember you get what you pay for. As with any second hand store you need to really look thru the clothes to find deals. For example the pricing can be strange… I bought a child’s hair bow here for $ 2. I found the exact one new, at a large retail chain for $ 1 (regular price). I’ve gotten great stuff here, happy mom! Thanks!

I have a love hate relationship with once upon a child sometimes you find great deals that you just can’t pass on I think that toys are always a steal here. Clothes are hit or miss and I feel sometimes a little over priced however my real hate for once upon a child comes from the customer service. I hate the way the entire staff looks at you as though you are a complete inconvenience to them when they have to ring out your purchases and God forbid you want to sell something. Eye rolls galore. I rarely do sell here anyway because I feel that I would rather donate my items to goodwill than receive pennies on the dollar for my designer kids clothes and basically new toys.

This is THE best place to shop for your kid. I don’t know if it’s the area or what, but they have really, really cute stuff for kids. I’ve been shopping here since my son was born (he’s now over a year) and I can’t even begin to imagine how much money we’ve saved here. The most I’ve ever paid for a pair of pants is $ 6. I find tons of Baby Gap here and fun boutique pieces. They’ve got all sorts of styles to choose from as well.
I don’t typically buy toys here, but I did buy a brand-​new Ikea rug (the kind with roads for toy cars) for $ 15, a practically brand-​new busy cube thing for $ 15, and a Little People Farm with characters for $ 12. Everything looked brand new.
As far as buy backs go, it’s kind of a waste of time. Especially baby Gap or Old Navy. I think there’s a date on one of the tags that says what season they are from and unless they are newer, they won’t take them even if they look nice. I never have much luck selling back clothes, but then again that’s not my main reason for shopping here!
We’re moving out of state in less than 6 months and I am REALLY hoping there is a Once Upon a Child where ever we are headed!!! Kids just outgrow stuff so fast that it’s great to go buy a bunch of new pants or whatever and not go broke.

Wish they cleaned the items a bit better & would label electronic working or broken. Otherwise great value.
