Do they give you decent $ or is it like a buck here and there? I am talking about good conditon items not just clothes.

Re: has anyone sold anything to once upon a child?

I've only done it once and IMHO for me it wasn't worth it. I mainly had clothes (all were gymboree, gap and TCP)...they gave very little (about 1.00 to 3.75 for each piece). I was surprised b/c a lot of the items I brought still had tags. Someone on the line told me they are a bit better with baby clothes as opposed to bigger sizes. They only take clothes 0-12 months with tags on it. The bigger sizes don't have to have tags. The toys they were very picky over. For example, I brought a few puzzles that my dc's used maybe twice. They literally sit and count each and every piece and one puzzle had 300 pieces! If you have big ticket items then I would think it might be worth it. I would call them first however, b/c I know depending on need they will stop taking certain items if they have too much of it. (For example, highchair, etc.) At the time I went (right before Thanksgiving) they weren't taking any infant car seats, strollers or cribs. HTH.

I too sold stuff to them & like RMA said I didn't feel it was worth it. I too had new clothes w/ tags & got maybe $1-2. each. I also sold toys in box (infant things) & got maybe $1 each. They analzye each & every thing and really examine it.

They used to be better, but now they are super picky. And I don't think their prices are all that great anymore, I can find new stuff on sale for the same prices as their "gently used" bigger kid stuff.
