Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about selling your kids' stuff at Once Upon A Child Tempe!
Do I need an appointment to sell?
No appointment needed! Just bring your clean, gently used kids' items during our buying hours.
How much will you pay for my items?
Our offers depend on brand, condition, style, resale value, and demand. We'll review your items and present an offer before you decide to sell.
Is there a limit to how much I can bring?
No set limit! Bring your freshly washed, clean, and organized kids' items in bins.
Why didn't you buy all my items?
We select items based on condition, style, and what our customers shop for. Certain items don't sell well in store , even if it's in great condition!
What if I'm not happy with my offer?
You're never obligated to sell. You can always decline the offer and take your items home.
Do you buy clothing year-round?
Yes! We buy clothing year-round, although our current inventory needs may affect what we purchase.
Why do items need to be freshly washed?
Everything we purchase goes directly onto our sales floor, so items need to arrive clean, fresh, and ready for their next family.
Do you buy car seats?
No. For safety and liability reasons, we don't purchase or resell car seats.
Can I pick up my items another day?
We require buys to be picked up the same day. Please ask our team about available drop-and-donate options.
