Once Upon A Child

This is a good place to get gently used baby items… they have tons of cloths, strollers, swings, cribs, pretty much anything baby.
But I agree with other reviews this is not a fun place to sell things to… they are kinda short with you about selling, then they pick thu your stuff and hardily will accept anything and offer you very little for what they do want… I did it once and after that I just give my stuff to friends that need it.

I completely understand why they have the low star rating. They would not purchase some very nice items I had, then paid me 10.75 for once worn items. I figured the selection of things to purchase MUST be top notch considering the quality of my reject pile. I could not be more wrong.
The very first thing I touched had an obvious pen mark on the sash on the front of the garment. The second dress I looked at had ink dots on the bodice. The jumper had no obvious stains but it was nothing to write home about and they were charging 6.50 for it. It was a top and bloomer combo item that is regularly on sale for 5 – 6 bucks at WalMart!
There were no less than 8 people crammed behind a counter, talking loudly to each other, negotiating whether or not one of them had an attitude, and seemingly taking up space. The woman at the register was nice and greeted me when I entered. The person who checked my items was rude. If they cut the fat of staff, they could offer realistic prices for garbage on hangers.
In their defense, the toys seemed clean and the books were in good condition. I didn’t check prices of either. I wanted to take my $ 10.75 college fund contribution and ease on down the road to the nearest Goodwill.
Nutshell: eBay.

In comparison to the Once Upon a Child location in OP/​JAX on Lake Gray Blvd, this store comes up short in most categories. When we went in, the staff were leaning on the counter chatting, I asked for help and they kept right on talking.
I finally got a woman’s attention to ask her about some jumperoos and exersaucers. Apparently they take the batteries out of all the toys when they’re brought in so you can’t see what the toys will do before you buy them. Bad sales technique! When I told her I couldn’t pick a toy without knowing what it did, she grudgingly went to get a screwdriver and a «borrow» battery. She did not know the products well enough to tell me what lit up or made music without the batteries.
I felt that the toys and the store itself could use a good scrubbing!
They did have a larger selection of baby gear, e.g. mobile type toys for 6 mos. and up. It may be due to slower sales as the saleswoman pointed to one toy and told me I didn’t want that one since «it was a really old, one that had been there forever.»
Cross the Buckman and go to the store across from Best Buy!!!

Perhaps 1.5 stars to be exact… This location would do much better if they a) had a fitting room (instead of trying on in a one-​room restroom) — (FYI the restroom in my experiences has been moderately clean but it just doesn’t feel good trying out clothes next to a public toilet w/​out a good mirror while anticipating a knock on the door); b) if they had a better selection of clothing (lots of things that are stretched out, faded 80s-​looking stuff that I would never buy anyway let alone at their higher prices — I’ve noticed the same clothes have remained stocked for a *long* time & they always tell me they’re not buying because they have too much); and c) if they hired employees who are friendly, sincerely want to help you, & aren’t snarky to customers. Just constructive criticism :). I wish them the best. Some OUACs are really good & some aren’t. This one is the closest to me, but the OUAC in OP, while still far from the best I’ve been to, is MUCH better than this one!)

I’ve shopped here often over the years. Be very careful about what you buy! They seem to be super duper picky about what they will buy from you… stains. holes…etc…but 99% of the time I come home with things that have holes or stains. But when they have sales… whoo hoo! I’ve gotten some excellent outfits for just a dollar… great name brands that I will be able to resell for more than I got them for! Service is sometimes friendly… usually not… just depends on who is there! Not my favorite place in general but if they are having a sale I am there! Onesie prices are hard to beat but my little one is too big for onsies now!
I have gotten strollers and high chairs from them… as with all consignment shops… know what the going price range is for what you want to get… and CAREFULLY check the item you are going to buy!
