We buy your high value children's items (up front payment, not consignment). 

Our buying price is 33% of our selling price. E.g. if we price something at $20 in our store, you will receive $6.60. We still donate 7% of our sale price to E Fry Ottawa.

Buying is by appointment only, Thurs-Fri 10-5 and Sat 10-2. Please book HERE

Drop off your items and receive your offer about an hour later by text. Bins/remaining items must be picked up by 5 p.m. that day. Payments will be made by e-transfer.

Items must be clean and laid flat in rigid containers or reusable bag (no plastic bags please); 2 bins/large bags maximum per appointment.

You are not obligated to accept our offer. 

We welcome donations of items we do not purchase. These may be sold at a lower price, stain-treated/washed if necessary, or passed on to another local organization/thrift store.
