Aimee pretty much summed this up. They now take credit cards for a nominal fee!

Double Blessings Resale is a twice-a-year event held in the Dupage County Fairgrounds exhibition warehouses. I call it a resale extravaganza. During the second weekend in March and the second weekend in September, up to five exhibition halls are filled with gently used children’s clothing, toys and baby gear at very reasonable prices. I was able to get about 30 clothing items, 2 pairs of shoes and 2 toys for my little one for less than $ 100. All designer and brand name children’s clothing and very good quality(barely used and well-kept). Some tips: Leave the kiddo’s at home. They will not have fun. The exhibition halls get really hot and there is no place to sit. That being said, like any sale, get there early for the best selection. If you have to bring your baby, leave the stroller in the car and use your Baby Bjorn to carry Junior around. Mama needs TWO hands to shop! No really, they do not allow strollers in the exhibition halls. Bring your large shopping bag to help you carry your items when you shop. Better yet, bring a laundry basket, it’s easier to carry all your items, go back to your car and empty items and then come back and shop in the next exhibition hall. Plan for time to browse. Don’t think you will spend 10 minutes and be «In and Out». The cashier lines are long, but it’s well-organized so it runs very smoothly. Cash or Check.(I honestly don’t remember seeing a Credit Card sign) This is run by a Mom’s group so they understand the importance of value and quality in children’s merchandise. You will not see beaten-up or out-dated equipment/baby gear. Every volunteer that I encountered was so up beat and friendly(even for early in the morning)
