RIP OFF!!!!!!!!! by Ericka C. at InsiderPages

I went to Once Upon a Child with a $350 oak crib. Used less than 2 yrs and was in perfect condition. They wanted to give me $50!!!! Are they crazy?! I knew I wasn't gonna make a lot of money back, but GEESH!! You can't buy a crib like that anywhere for less than $200.00. I wouldn't bring anything there or shop there again. They have teenagers working who don't know the first thing about baby stuff so how can they tell you what you are going to get for them? Ridiculous!!! Not to mention they put your stuff down right to your face and make you feel like crap.

sure its great to buy stuff there, although they are definately on the expensive side for USED items. But selling to them is rediculous! They pay very poorly. Try craigslist, ebay.... anything before going to them. They gave me 40$ for my $250 breast pump so they can turn around and sell it for $80. I regret almost everything I have sold to them. The only thing I take to them anymore is clothing because it is very difficult to sell online. They are VERY picky though.

The best store by far!

I shop at Once Upon A Child often and all the people who work there are incredibly nice and very helpful. I am a single mother of 3 children and I have shopped here since my first child (she is now 12) and I still shop there for her too! I have gotten all my children's clothes, cribs & other things my children need. I'm sad that I am now done having children (my youngest is 9, and as I said before, oldest is 12) because sooner or later, I won't be able to shop there anymore! I have become real close to many of the girls that work there and I consider them part of my family. I've never really been to a store that I have felt that way before. As for the clothes, they are reasonably priced. I found a beautiful Gap jacket for $25.00 when in the store it was almost $100! The quality of the clothes is amazing for what you pay for. You can't buy a pair of Abercrombie fashion jeans for $12 anywhere else but at Once Upon A Child! I would recommend this store to everyone and anyone who asks me where I shop!
