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

Our buying price is 30% of our selling price. E.g. if we price something at $20 in our store, you will receive $6. We also donate 5% of the sale to E Fry Ottawa.

Buying is by appointment only, various hours Wed to Sat. 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 the same day before 5 p.m. by e-transfer.

Items must be freshly laundered (ideally in unscented detergent) and laid flat in rigid containers or reusable bags (no plastic bags please); 2 bins/large bags maximum per appointment. 1 bin only for baby items sizes 0-12m. This is a firm limit due to time.
