About Us

Each Once Upon A Child location is individually owned and operated by moms and dads like you, who understand money doesn’t grow on trees!

Our customers want quality children’s clothing and we’re excited that we can offer discounts up to 70% off of original retail prices. We strive to offer a fun and convenient way to sell your gently used items. Whether you’re buying or selling, we would love to help you find what you’re looking for. We offer payment on-the-spot for items we select that meet current style, safety and condition standards. We maintain high merchandise standards by thoroughly inspecting all toys and equipment for any safety recalls.

 

Selling Tips for Best Results:  

~ Make sure clothing has been recently laundered and free of pet hair.     

~ Save time by not bringing in any clothing with missing buttons, stains, tears, broken zippers, alterations, cut offs or holes.

~ Bringing clothing laid flat (not on hangers) in a laundry basket, plastic bin or box is best. Bags tend to wrinkle the clothing which will decrease what we are able to buy. 

~ Equipment and toys sell best CLEAN with ALL of their original parts.     

~ Clothing must be current from last 2 to 3 years.

~ We are extremely selective when buying newborn & infant apparel.  We are looking for 2 & 3 piece outfits, dresses w/diaper covers & apparel that is in excellent condition.

~ Everything will be checked for recalls www.cpsc.gov

~ ID must be presented when picking up your items.

~ Important: Selling is a same day process.  All items dropped off for selling that are not picked up by the end of day will be donated to a local charity.

~ Have FUN RECYCLING and enjoy the extra CA$H!
