Once Upon A Child

Ok, so I went back to this store and I will admit, my last review was too harsh. I still believe that there are some things you shouldn’t buy second hand, but this place does a decent job weeding out the nasty.

I went once, bought a couple of things and haven’t been back!
Their prices are basically half off the retail price and I saw a lot of items that weren’t «lightly» worn. A lot of faded and worn out stuff!
I was pretty disappointed spending all that time looking through clothes to find only about 5 items. But then, I thought my luck had turned around.
I thought it was fate when I noticed them setting out the infant swing I was planning on buying my son. It was $ 60, half of the $ 120 retail price. I decided against it for two reasons… 1) They have a pretty poor Return Policy. I’m pretty sure it was 7 days… but I wasn’t willing to dish out $ 60 on something I wasn’t sure would work a day past 7. 2) When I walked up to it, I noticed it was completely FILTHY. I was completely disgusted by how dirty it was and couldn’t even comprehend how they could put something so nasty on their sales floor. (Ever heard of a Lysol wipe?!). Ew. The $ 120 buy a brand new, clean swing with at least a sales receipt for 90 days was WELL worth the investment!
I was under the impression this was like a higher end second hand store… I guess the prices were, but the items were more like garage sale stuff. You can find cheaper stuff on CLEARANCE racks at the mall! Brand new!
Also, I would NEVER sell my stuff here. I could make more having my OWN garage sale!
