I have used Once Upon a Child off and on for the past three years. I find buying there is far better than selling. The offer insultingly low prices for most things. They say they offer 50-60% of resale price but really they only offer about 40-50% at best.\r
Today, I called to inquire about a Sit N Stand stroller. The girl said they had one for $90. I had a tandem that they'd priced at worth $40 at a previous trip that I was willing to sell today.\r
I asked the girl if I brought in my stroller could it go towards the price. She said yes. So $90-$40=$50. Then she told me I would get 10% off for selling that day. $50 - 10% off =$45. We did the math together and agreed that I would come in.\r
After waiting 45 mins for them to look at my stroller, they rang me up. I was concerned b/c it seemed like the price was really high with tax. After I signed the receipt, I got the itemized one. They sold me the stroller at $95 not $90!\r
When I pointed this out, the girl said that she told me $95 and that they were planning to sell it at over $100 (proves they mark up the price). She refused to fix the difference even after I reminded her that we did the math together on the phone. She told me I could just return it!\r
Buy there maybe...sell there NEVER! \r
Pros: Cheap stuff to buy
Cons: Rip off when selling to them
