I have shopped here a couple of times and brought A LOT of items, mainly clothes, to sell for the first time yesterday. I had 2 laundry baskets and a box full of clothes to sell. I knew not all would be purchased by the shop- some items were really worn but I figured I'd try. She did buy some items, less than a basket full is what she accepted. I was surprised because most of what she declined was name brand and in really good shape- like a brand new pair of Old Navy little girl jeans, NEW WITH TAG...she did not take those. What puzzles me is that most of what is on the racks- and I looked at sizes 5T through size 8, literally it all was SO worn, faded, practically see through from wear. I am not attempting to trash the store out of bitterness, I am being honest, and I made this observation the times I have been in there prior to selling my own items. Really I thought most of my items would sell because I have seen the old and faded items that you typically find on their racks. It just seems stupid that there is so much crap on the racks but she didn't want to buy nice clothes in good condition. Really are people buying the crap on the racks? That's what I'd like to know. I mean it was stuff that I probably wouldn't hand down from an older child to a younger child, just due to wear and fading. Oh well, certainly not the end of the world but many items I would expect the shop to really want were turned down and it makes no sense to me. So, if you are a shopper, then sure, it's worth going there to filter through the racks. If you need baby-infant-small toddler clothes then I think it's definitely worth it- same thing with the Big Red Wagon Consignment Sales- for smaller and younger kids you can find some real good buys, as younger kids, especially babies, grow so fast that many items are in like-new condition. If you are going to sell, just don't get your hopes up. They pay you 30% of what they'd sell the item for, and they say they sell items for 50% off the new/retail price. If an item would retail for $10, they say they'll sell it for $5, therefore you'd receive $1.50. So you're likely not going to get paid a large sum of money, but if you have clothes to get rid of and you need instant cash then it's worth a try, but be prepared to wait awhile while they filter through your items (if you brought a lot) and don't expect to get paid a lot. Honestly you can probably make more in a garage sale or selling at Big Red Wagon, but then again those options aren't instant cash or guaranteed sales. Overall, not overly impressed with the store or the owner but you never know what you will find there, and at least you get paid cash instantly for any items they are willing to buy from you.
