This recycling shop for "kids' stuff with previous experience" buys and sells gently used children's clothing, equipment and furniture.

RIP-OFF by Jill J. at InsiderPages

Beware!!! First, if you buy something and need to return it you only have THREE days and then they will only issue an in-store credit. So be selective and choose carefully. Also, the prices they give you for stuff is absolutely ridiculous. Their mark-up is huge and they give you below garage sale prices. I've tried them several times and now I'm done! I'd rather give them away to someone who really needs them then to get insulted at what they want to make off me. Also, they are extremely picky. I guess they can be because they have so much stuff. Just want to warn you to be prepared. They have told me my items have stains and they don't! Some of them are practically brand new. Not sure what's up with that. Anyway, I'm done with them. I would not recommend this place.


Staff needs classes on store etiquette!!! by diane v. at InsiderPages

I will say that you can find some very nice clothing for your child at a reduced cost but be prepared that if you will be needing help of any kind chances are real high that this is not the store your going to get it in. The gals that work here are so busy talking about their love lives and gossiping that they are much too busy to help you. And if you should ask for anything they make you feel that your being a bother to them. Very very unfriendly bunch here!! I've gotten sighs when asked if they could show me where something is. I've been treated rudely and been spoken to in snotty tones when completely not necessary. Be very carefully buying toys there. They will tell you that they have all been checked and work properly but I wouldn't take their word for it. I live 60 miles out of sioux falls and have been burned too many times by toys they didn't want to take the time to put batteries in to show me they worked and reassuring me that all toys are checked very well before being placed for sale and then after getting home I find out their junk and don't work. I'm not going to make a special trip to bring an item back that they so fully reassured me would work and they will not take it back after 2 weeks so then I get stuck once again. Just like the clothes that they put the wrong size on the tag but then I get stuck with that too! I have found other second hand stores in town that are just as good if not better and the staff in the other stores blows these guys out of the water! Maybe they should take lessons?!?!


Great Selection but.. by Sher W. at InsiderPages

The Service wasnt so good. I knew what I wanted and walked right in, got it and stood at the counter while the clerks talked to each other. One just looked at me and kept talking to the other one. There was another woman working the register but she was helping someone else. Finally.. and I mean a good 5 or so mins passed.. one of the two chatter boxes decided to help me and wasn't friendly at all.


Kids Clothes at Reasonable Prices by Kris L. at InsiderPages

This store is great for buying good condition children's clothes. And you can also sell your used clothing there as well. There prices are so much cheaper than buying the clothes new. Highly recommend. They just expanded their store so they have plenty of room. They also have toys and lots of books. It would be nice if they would have the books sorted a little bit better though. They do have the clothes sorted very well. PROS: Lots of selection CONS: Prices for selling clothing could be higher
