How It Works

Step 1 Bring in your gently used children's clothing, toys and baby equipment.
Step 1 While you check out the great kids stuff in the store, the buyer will review your items.
Step 1 The buyer will select and make an offer on the items that meet current style, safety and condition standards, as well as store's current stock levels.
Step 1 Once you accept the offer, you’ll be on your way with some extra money, some great new stuff for your kids, or both!

At Once Upon A Child you'll find a huge selection of gently used kids clothing, toys, furniture and equipment at up to 70% off retail! We're not your typical secondhand store. The items that we buy and sell are next to new, good quality, clean and have been checked for safety standards.


No appointment necessary - we buy every day and will pay you on the spot! Check with your local store for additional details.

Selling Tips

  • In order for us to offer the latest and greatest in styles at value prices, clothing and accessories must be purchased within the last five years.
  • Equipment and toys must meet current safety standards and include all parts. Not sure if your item qualifies? Bring it in and we’ll check it out!
  • Check out our what we buy page to see what types of items we buy and sell, we know we buy items you have not even thought of!
  • Be sure your apparel items are freshly laundered and in good condition – no stains, fading, or excessive wear.
  • Clean toys and equipment sell best.
  • It is most efficient for us to review items folded neatly in a box, bin or tote. Please, no hangers or garbage bags.
  • It’s always a good idea to call us to find out about what we buy.   
What We're Buying
We buy every day up until one hour prior to closing. There is no appointment necessary and we pay on the spot for all items accepted. We operate on a first come first served basis so make sure you have time to shop in our store while we look through your items.

Bring in your toys, furniture and equipment. We'd love to make you an offer. Bring in your clothing and shop for the next size up.

All items need to come in clean, have all their parts and be in good working condition.

At Once Upon A Child, safety and product quality are always our top priority. For these reasons these are some items we are unable to buy such as car seats and products that have recalled.

Feel free to call us if you have any questions regarding the items you have to sell.
