Once Upon A Child

I used to shop and sell clothing at this OUAC all the time in the past & never had a problem. However, recently it seems like they are being cheap and not being fair with what they are willing to give you for your clothes. Today, I went in to sell two pairs of snow pants (never worn), 2 sweaters (never worn), a coat (gently worn) a baby elephant Halloween costume and 3 pairs of Abercrombie jeans. They offered to buy the snow pants, sweaters & elephant costume but were only willing to pay me $ 10 for all of them. That is ridiculous! Especially when you consider that they would put those clothing on the rack for triple (or more) that price. Sorry, but I’m done shopping at this and any other OUAC. I can go to Old Navy and get a new pair of pants for what their charging for a used pair of pants. The point (at least I thought) of OUAC is to provide nice clothing for a reasonable price. That is not so. I’d find just as decent clothing at my local Goodwill store. Oh. And the employee could use a little pep. No «Good morning» or «Thank you. Please come again.»

Here is my problem with this OUAC location. The clothes they advertise they have are name brand. This location has very few name brand clothes. They stock the same brands Walmart does and charges $ 1 less than what you can buy it brand new for at Walmart. I don’t understand. What is the point? They used to stock name brands like Polo, Tommy, Nautica, Levis, etc. but that is over with. Almost everything is faded. I have seen people have nice, name brand clothes to sell them and they refuse them but accept all the other «crap» that is faded and not name brand.
I don’t bother with this location anymore unless my kids need belts. They had some nice plain brown belts last time I went there for $ 2.

So, the time in my life where I review baby/​child stores has arrived. It seems like just last week I was passing out in an alley, but people grow up I guess. Anyway, I love this place. Baby and child accoutrements for cheap; R bought several (sigh) pink onesies for our soon-​to-​be-​existing-​outside-​of-​R-​herself little girl, and all were brand new (tags still on) and priced dirt cheap. We’ll undoubtedly be back for more stuff for her to excrete substances on (the baby, that is.) Their inventory is massive and the hardware is dated corresponding to when the item was sanitized, which I found useful. Also, the place reeks of rubbing alcohol, which is one of my favorite smells. It’s like «Eau de New Parents.»
