I am currently pregnant with my third child due in late April. I have NO baby items (no clothes, gear, crib, toys, etc.) as I thought we were through having children after we had our second daughter.
Can someone recommend some nice resale shops I could check out? I live in the Lake Highlands area but am happy to travel to other areas to find high quality baby bargains.
Thanks so much!
Kid to Kid in Plano and Allen are great. So is Once Upon a Child. I am a total believer in resale stores. There is also a great little store in Plano called Deja New that carries some great stuff. I found the key is to visit each one about once a month or more to get what you need.
I also found some nice items on Ebay as well.
I would DEFINITELY check out Ebay
People will sell a large lot of clothes that are gently used
It is a great deal
I think the local resale shops like Kid to Kid are still kind of expensive.
Once upon a child and Kid 2 Kid are great resale shops. I've shopped at both for my now 5 year old. Some of the clothing I've gotten even still had original tags on them! They have many locations around the metroplex.
There is a resale shop in Mesquite on Town East called RuntyRethreads. Weird name but have tons of baby stuff at very reasonable prices. I buy my kids clothes there frequently. Better prices and selection then our neighborhood Once Apon a Child.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I also highly recommend Once Upon A Child and Kid to Kid. They are GREAT shops, and will NOT take anything that is "worn out", or have stains that are beyond reasonable.
Congratulations on the baby!
The Once Upon a Child in Flower Mound was having a sale. It might still be going on. Almost everything was 30% off. I LOVE Once Upon a Child. My son is just about to turn 10 months old. It seems that there have been some growth stages that have only lasted a few weeks! Then, I've had to buy all new clothes. I actually like the resale shop better because there is such a great selection. If I want a pair of jeans... I'll have about 50 pairs in his size to choose from. I think that I get better styles this way. Plus, I can just sit on the floor and piece together an entire wardrobe in one sitting!
I have an aquarium swing, 2 bouncers, clothes (which you wont need b/c I had a girl) and various other items for a baby. I have 3 kids, also, and I would love to sell them to you if you are interested. They are in great condition, babies dont tend to ruin newborn things! E-mail me at ____@____.com if you are interested!!
The only one I know of is in Snider Plaza in Park Cities.
There's a consignment sale coming up in Feb. If interested, I'll round up the info and send it. Let me know.
you can go the burlington factory coat the store is ok, but they have a varity in baby furniture, and the best part, tehy have layway for 90 days. those store unce upon a child, htir prices are almost the same to the new stuff
I have a crib that both sides let down that is in great condition, I just moved my 2 year old to a big gorl bed in Sept. I also have2 mattresses and a toddler bed to sell if you are interested.
I also just decided to get rid of quite a few nice toddler toys I can send you pics if you want.
My neighbor is selling a bouncy chair, little rocking chair and a bassinet but they are pink, don't know how you feel about that....

Greenbeans is in Lake Highlands and I love it! They are off Mockingbird and I think Abrams right between the Bostons Market and Tom Thumb. They have great prices and i think the green line items are 60% off and the clothes prices drop as they are there longer, on the tag you will see the dates when they drop. I bought some onesies for 40 cents and some name brand clothes for $12-$16 (Ralph Lauren and Jannie and Jack)
The First Presbyterian Church in Allen has a Lil' Lambs sale twice a year--the next one is in March. You can get terrific buys on exceptional baby/children's items. It would be worth the drive.
Good luck!
The JBF sale is coming!! It is a HUGE consignment sale with awesome deals. They have it at the Mesquite Rodeo Center and it's in February. The website is http://www.jbfsale.com
Congratulations on your new baby!
