Trade for Store Cred­it or Cash

Here’s one thing we know for sure - kids grow, and their closets and dressers get filled with clothes that no longer fit! What’s a mom to do? Just bring us your gently used baby and kids fashions. Just follow these simple steps:

1 Pre-sort your clothes and pick out the best of the best. Give them a quick washing so they are stain free, odor free, and wrinkle free (no bags or boxes please). We love designs that are in season, in style (about 2-3 year years old) and in like-new condition (no excessive wear). Our customers also appreciate that our clothes and gear are from pet and smoke free homes.

2 We want everyone to have a chance to sell their clothes, so we would love to see you once a month and we will preview up to 40 items at each visit.

3 All the gear we accept must be clean, odor free, in good working order, and should have fresh batteries where needed. Instructions are great, but not necessary. Please check that all the original parts are included, and that each item meets current Government Safety Standards, and is not on any recall list.

Selling Tips You Should Know

We buy based on a variety of criteria. Mostly we consider our customers’ preferences; so we specialize in the better brands that everyone loves for their quality and style. We also closely watch our current stock levels to make sure we maintain a good selection in all our sizes.

1 Our stock needs typically change from one buying day to the next. We announce this information by email notices (you can sign up for these notices through our web site). It's also posted on our Facebook wall, or you can always give us a call at 503.387.5701. Please, always contact us before you bring in any gear, or large size items - our space is limited for these types of goods.

2 We stock baby clothes in sizes from NB to 5T; our kids’ sizes range from 4 to 8; and maternity wear is available from XS to XXL (sometimes larger). Check our “What We Buy & When” page for buying days, times, and best selling brands.

3 We display clothes appropriate for each season. Keep this in mind as you select the clothing, footwear, sleepwear, activewear and outerwear you want to sell. See our seasonal dates for a helpful guide as you sort through your items.
