- ASAngeles Sanchez1 day ago3.0for a second hand store the prices are pretty high. I would not recommend selling to them. They took 10 pieces of what I gave them including name brands and gave me $10. I’m sure they aren’t selling it for a dollar a piece.

- JJJ Bean (Jillybean)Nov 9, 20251.0This place gets worse and worse. They're selling stuff for 50 cents off new retail (Cat and Jack shirts specifically that I'm aware of), and today there's a sign on the door that they're only taking one 13 gallon bag per family. Now, their rule has ALWAYS BEEN they need items neatly folded in a box or tote. Suddenly they're saying throw it in a garbage bag (13 gallon would be the volume of a tall kitchen trash bag). Weird. Could have done that but that's not their published rule per their website. I have one box and one standard size milk crate though (box is the same size as the milk crate) so I wait in line anyways as those two together aren't over the one 13 gallon trash bag's volume. When I get up there she tells me one trash bag, I say this isn't more than one trash bag worth and your rule has always been it needs to be in a box or a tote? She looks at her coworker, states "you can deal with that" and walks away. The coworker says they'll take the box, but only one. So..... If I had gone outside and and shoved it all in a tall kitchen trash bag (because it all would have fit in one trash bag of that size) making it a mess against their stated online rules, they would have taken it all. Cool. We won't be back. Back to driving over an hour to a nicer location of this store.
- SBSierra BrownOct 16, 20251.0Went in recently the store is not as good as other once upon a child stores i have been too. Girls clothing found in the boys clothing. Clothing is priced more than the original price. Cat and jack clothing from target priced over 8$$ for used clothing is ridiculous. Coats priced at 50$!!!!!!! For used Coats !!!!! They toys for used Toys over priced! Your a store reselling used clothing do better!
