We pay CA$H* for your kids' stuff that are in great condition, meet our safety standards, clean, and are of current style. We buy items from customers every day of the week and we work on a first come, first serve basis. No appointment necessary.

Because we work on a same-day service, be sure to come on a day that works best for you. We tend to stay very busy and have limited space to hold everyone’s items, so the same day you drop your items off will be the same day you will need to return to review your quote. Unlike a typical consignment store, we offer you cash” on the spot for items accepted. *Payments over $30 are offered in the form of a check.

We are looking for…

- Clothing that is in good condition, of current style, freshly laundered and LAID FLAT in a tub, tote, or laundry basket (no bags or hangers). Two piece outfits placed together (not pinned).

We are buying ALL SEASONS in children's apparel.

*PLEASE NOTE- We are extremely selective when buying newborn & infant apparel in sizes 0-24 months. We are looking for 2 & 3 piece outfits and dresses with diaper covers.

- Toys, books, equipment, and furniture items must include all original parts, be clean, and in good working condition. If disassembled, we may request that you put it together in our store so that we can check that it is working properly and it has all parts.

- Some items we do not purchase are: accessories (bibs, socks, hats), most onsies, bathtubs, diapering essentials (diaper pails, potty seats), car seats, car seat and stroller accessories, feeding essentials (bottles, pacifiers, dishes), safety locks, stuffed animals, leap pads, room decor, crib bedding & blankets, cribs, dressers, gliders, and recalled items.

- Please look through your items first to make sure you are bringing clothing that are freshly laundered and equipment and toys that are clean. Bring it in a manageable basket or container (bags tend to wrinkle clothing, therefore we would not be able to purchase wrinkled items). We stay extremely busy. This will save both parties time.
