Local Consignment Stores

I was highly disappointed in Once Upon a Child. We took our pack n play, and matching swing to them (it was less than a year old and barely used also had all the whistles... vibrating, music, changing table attached etc. ) we walked out of there learning after the transaction that they would be marking up what we sold to them by a lot. they buy from you and give you only 30% of what would be earned off of that item. I suggest you go to either craigs list, e bay, or simply have a yardsale at your house that way you will know your stuff is safe and you can get what you want out of it. for my two items i didn't even get 50, but they were bought for 200.

WOW, I'm really sorry hear your story...I own Reruns 4 Little Ones, we sell baby, kids, tween and maternity clothing and accessories. We have been in the town n' coutry area of tampa for 5 years and loving every minute of it. Consigning with us is pretty is easy, you bring in your items clean and organized and we do the rest. You can call or drop in to check your account. I hope this helps!!!

D.,

Sorry for your bad experience. I have only done consigment with Little Lambs. They have been around for a while. One of my friends has a 10 yr old, & she consigned there when her daughter was a tot. So going out of business should not be a concern.

They are very particular with what they take- which is good & bad. Good, that when you purchase something, it is in good working order (toys etc) & in good condition (shoes). You often need to schedule a appt. 1 month ahead of time. They can give you a shedule when they accept seasonal items. I have had good luck with consigning big ticket items, like stroller, bumbos,baby bjorns, pack & plays. Clothes so so. They don't take cribs- so I sold mine on Craig's list.

I often will buy the more unique toys, & books, which my daughter is rough with. IF they don't take a toy due to a recall they tell you so.

What I do is I take my stuff there first, to see what they will take. What they don't take I give to friends who can use it. My daughter is VERY rough on her clothes. Hope this helps.

Hi A friend of mine checked out Little Lambs and they only allow 25 pieces at a time - I believe, must be on hangers too - I think. I have used Comfy Kids in Tampa and it's been good for me.
