  • $7-12 for outerwear, shoes

mid-range brands

Brands like Gap, Primary, Lands End, Zara, Columbia, Kate Quinn, See Kai Run, Keen, or Stride Rite will generally last through a few children. We buy these brands in good-to-excellent condition.

high value items

We price high value and bulky items from 1/3 to 1/2 of current retail and may price outside that range based on quality, condition, or sellability.

We pay 50% of our selling price in store credit or 40% in PayPal for most items.

There are also a handful of items we source for our Circular Registry Program that we pay out at 65%.

we now buy most high value items outright!

Strollers, bike seats, bike trailers, and items we cannot test are consigned and paid out once the item sells.
