WeeCycle

WeeCycle is a consigment store for babies and young kids clothes, toys etc. I love that they don’t call the goods second hand, but refer to them as ‘gently used’. How great is that?!
I recently redecorated both my kids bedrooms and was reluctant to just bin or give away the old stuff as it was from Laura Ashley, White Company and Cath Kidston so I dropped it off at WeeCycle. Strangely, the things I expected to be snapped up didn’t sell at all, which is hard not to take personally. What exactly is wrong with my stuff? Maybe it was more than ‘gently’ used.
Anyhoo, most of it did sell so about a month later I went back to get my cash. The store takes a whopping 60% of what they’ve sold your things for so don’t expect to make a fortune. What you can do though is spend what you have made in the shop and that way you get 50% of the value rather than 40%. A kind of very convoluted swap shop.
If like me you end up with some unsold things, do the right thing and drop them off at the charity shop a few doors along.
