Once Upon A Child

If you’re thinking about selling them items, please reconsider!!! This place low balls what they pay you for your items and then turns around and sells them for an unbelievable marked up price. They are rude and it took me 90 minutes to receive a whopping $ 16.00 for high value
items. Never again!!! Next time it will be donated or put on ebay.

I am reviewing as a consumer and not as a seller. The store is well organized and easy to find the particular size clothing and items you are looking for. On my first visit I purchased two pairs of sandals (one of them a high quality brand) and almost 20 articles of clothing. The clothing ranged from $ 1.50 to $ 6.50 (shorts and shirts to a special occasion dress). The sandals I purchased were $ 5.50 and $ 8.50. Loved my experience there. I will be returning, and recommending this location to friends.

I haven’t had any issues with this location. I think they get a lot of slack from customers coming in and becoming offended if they don’t buy back their products. (some of the customers are abusive to the point they have tried to force them to buy products which hey. That would drive me crazy to) also the people who say «the workers do not look at the clothes «. Are you kidding me ?? Trust me they eyeball every inch of the item you are presenting. I really do make $$ here everytime I bring in clothes. I have never personally had issues. The only thing I have seen is their prices have gone up and I have been buying less. However there are still some awesome deals if you look hard!

This is an excellent store for purchasing! And thank you to those who do sell their items here, making it possible for the purchasers to buy them. Personally, I would not sell items here, as they don’t give you top dollar for them. I have shopped here for more than 10 years and consider it a hidden gem! I even drive 30 mins to get there.

First let me start by saying the idea of the store is great because so many people have baby items that they want to get rid of. With that being said the store is a total disappointment; the staff are nasty and they refused to take anything that’s not in almost new condition.
everything I brought in was almost brand-​new and they refused to take all of it, even though all of my items had all the pieces, clothes were freshly washed with no stains or any signs of wear. The store is a thrift store so the premise and purpose is that kid items are gently used-​however they expect you to bring in brand-​new items and won’t take anything unless they are almost new, which defeats the purpose and premise of the store.
I brought in shoes that had only been worn once and feet pjs that had only been worn twice and the woman refused to take them. She tried to point out signs of wear and couldn’t but still lied to my face and said they were used– OF COURSE THEY WERE USED! They sell used baby items!
And there are absolutely NO stains allowed on anything you try to bring in. I don’t know any parent in the face of the earth who doesn’t have any stains on their children’s items. This place is ridiculous.
it’s a total waste of time. save your time and effort and sell your items on eBay or craigslist

Just got out of this store. I had been searching for jeans for my picky daughter. Bought 3 pairs on Monday. 2 had to come back because they didn’t fit. They refused to take a pair of dark blue Abercrombie and Fitch jeans back. They had a discoloration on the front pocket which was there when I bought them and accused me of tampering with the tag and washing and ruining them. I have never been so speechless in my life. I would NEVER do such an act. They claimed to never sell stuff stained. Trust me– the crap on the racks I would not GIVE away! I only look for stuff with tags or looking brand new. Nevertheless I sold beautiful name brand tshirts and polo shirts of my sons, and 2 pair of sneakers and an umbrella– hello kitty brand new, and got $ 15.50. I would rather have given away to someone who would appreciate it. Buyers beware– check the clothing before you purchase. If it has rips or holes, pulls or buttons missing — they probably won’t take it back! Accusing you of damaging it! Learn from my mistake– stick with a pair of jeans that don’t fit@ $ 10.00. Besides being humiliated in a second hand store. I don’t NEED to shop here. Just looking for something different. I would also like to add that ALL the tickets on the items look just the way this tag does– it’s called being SHOP WORN! Morons they are! They overlooked the damage and I am held responsible. Oh no wait– the idiot owner blamed my daughter for ruining the jeans. I washed them with something SHE left in the pocket. With me strategically removing the tag and putting it back on. I’m so speechless at this classless establishment but that’s what I get! I’ll stick to LORD and TAYLOR, Macy’s, the real ABERCROMBIE &FITCH. That’s where I’ll be treated like a respectable human being.

I do not understand why all the negative reviews here. Its a THRIFT STORE that sell your items at very low prices. Why do people think they will get top dollar for their items. I buy shorts for my girls for 3 – 4 bucks. Shirts for like 2 – 4 bucks. They are in excellent, very gently used condition. I bought a baby bouncer for 12 bucks. I also bought a jean Levi jackets for 8 bucks. All the terrible comments here are regarding selling items. I never sell here. ITS A THRIFT STORE. THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU TOP DOLLAR. I sell my items on ebay.
If you come here to buy it is a great store and you will find such beautiful things. I have been here about a dozen times. I love it and its my go to spot for Halloween costumes or specialty clothing for Valentine’s day or st. Patrick’s.
You will not be disappointed if you are coming to buy something. The clothes dont stink like other thrift stores (i do wash them when i get home) and the place is very clean and it doesnt have that weird thrift store smell.
I wil always return here. Love this store.

I thought it was really good specially since it is way closer to me than the one upsate, don’t have to pay tolls. I wish they had more shoes to pick from, but the clothing items were amazing quality. The clothing was so cheap and I found so much cute dresses and shirts for the summer.
The cashier had a bit of an attitude which was uncalled for, otherwise the store was empty and organized.

the woman who seems to run the place has zero charm. she literally did not respond last time i walked in and said «good morning.»
however, this is a good place to buy pre-​owned clothing. if you have time and patience, you’ll likely find something (s) cute and affordable. my advice: only sell items that you’re okay to part with — because you will not get a lot of money for it. sell the toys that you’re tired of tripping over — and the clothing that does not hold any sentimental meaning. recommend.

Had a chance to visit & although the outside of the store was not impressive, I did like what I found on the inside. Specifically, they had a nice selection of toys for a variety of age ranges, and the condition was good considering what they were asking.
In addition to some neat toys, was also able to pick up a Halloween costume for $ 3.50, a good variety of clothes that were either never used or used once & a jogger stroller, valued at $ 110 for half the price. After careful examination, I’m not sure if the stroller was used at all.
The one thing that could have made my visit better was if they could be flexible on prices. For instance, since I purchased quite a few things I was hoping they could take a few dollars off of the one toy I picked up. The staff, although very nice, unfortunately don’t have the authority to make those deals. But will definitely return, and follow-​up with a possible selling experience.

I went here to buy stuff, not sell, and had a good experience. They didn’t have the exersaucer I wanted, but I bought a $ 50 shopping cart cover for $ 8.50 (a little faded but fine) and a 5-​puzzle Sesame Street puzzle book for $ 2.50. There were a TON of clothes and all the things I saw looked to be in good shape, but I just looked quickly. They had lots of books too, and toys big and small. I’d definitely go back, and the cashier told me you can call ahead to ask after a specific item like an exersaucer.

Like most first time mothers, I registered for all the recommended registry items. As it turns out, my son barely used half of them. A swing was used literally twice. The Snap and Go a handful of times. Some toys never even touched.
I wanted to find somewhere that would buy these things and give cash on the spot and found this place. Seaford was a good 45 minutes drive for us so not an easy distance to drive. Plus, the store is not located in a GPS findable address for some reason.
I brought in a Graco swing, a Snap and Go, an Imaginarium large wooden activity center and another Melissa and Doug wooden toy, along with shoes and clothes. I was offered $ 62. Absolutely crazy!!! But because 1, I did not know I could reject their offer for something better and 2, I didn’t really want to lug all these things home again, I accepted. I wish I had read the previous reviewers post on asking for a better offer before I went.
I definitely feel ripped off and would not recommend anyone come here to sell their things. I should’ve just spent extra time and energy and sold on Craigslist.

GOOD PLACE TO BUY USED ITEMS. NOT A GOOD PLACE TO SELL YOUR STUFF.
I waited for over 4 hours to get my stuff priced (they said they had a new computer system). I was devastated when I only got $ 22 for a large box full of brand-​name stuff in new condition. The money I got averaged out to less than $ 1 per item!!! You’re better off at a consignment store where they give you 50% of what they sell the items for. If you have the energy, use Craig’s List or have a garage sale.
