Now I know how much they go for on eBay I might just buy them at the Rack if there's something I like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-393644 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:13:16 +0000 loveisstrange 393644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I know... but it's so pretty. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-393631 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:07:32 +0000 shopaholic 393631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Oh I know! Seems like there are professional sellers that just sell Gymboree stuff all day every day! I just got an adorable leopard set too NWT! And Kate Mack - whoa, eBay prices are still too rich for my blood too! lol</p> <p>@rachiecakes: I totally understand what you're saying! For a little girl, I'm more willing to buy something very lightly worn, if she even just wears it once or twice is okay. But with a boy, I think I'd be a lot more selective and picky about what I'd buy just because he'd probably have less clothes overall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-393040 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:16:26 +0000 boiledpnut 393040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I'm not picky. If I think it's cute and it's in great condition, I'll buy it. I've never been one to shop brands anyway and at this point I'm only buying 0-6m clothes, so he won't be wearing them long anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-392870 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:46:06 +0000 rachiecakes 392870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love RL and Splendid. Janie &amp; Jack shoes. If I had a girl, I think I'd do a lot more second hand shopping because some of those brands the girly things are too cute.<br /> I also love the EMU critter shoes/boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-392743 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 03:06:28 +0000 loveisstrange 392743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shop for Gymboree used, there is a HUGE market for it. Ive gotten whole outfits of NWT stuff for like $10. I also do Gap and Janie and Jack and boutique brands like Mud Pie, Giggle Moon, Kate Mack, Matilda Jane, etc. although, most of those boutique brands are too rich for my blood, even used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-392693 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 23:40:17 +0000 shopaholic 392693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@c.sassy: hmmm.. second RL rejection... I actually bought a couple of really cute RL stuff this weekend, but not the regular "polo" type looking stuff. But good to keep in mind regarding resell. </p> <p>@PrincessBaby: DH went to school at U of M so he has quite a few friends all in that area. And DH WISHES he could ban me from buying any more clothes, but being cooped up all weekend it's impossible for him to say anything! hahaha!</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I didn't think you consignment shopped! Cool! I know, I've been sooo tempted to get some Crew Cut stuff on eBay, but I'd have to wait so long for LO to grow into them! I did score a REALLY cute Zara jacket (one of the pricier items) and some really unique boutique/foreign stuff this weekend!</p> <p>So far Janie &amp; Jack, Mini Boden seem universally appealing for resale value! Good to know! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-392569 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:02:21 +0000 Mrs. Bee 392569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>there are so many indie brands i love like bobo choses that are never on ebay. i shop at a local consignment shop and get a lot of gap and janie and jack there. i also love splendid, crew cuts (sizes are only 2+ though), zara, h&amp;m, &amp; mini boden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-392566 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:00:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 392566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: @shopaholic: Haha, Yes I live in Fort Lauderdale, so Boca is about 20 mins north of me, and Boynton is about 30 mins north of me:) I don't know Boynton very well, Boca is as north as I ever venture, but is really nice and has a really high-end consignment shop there that I've been regularly stopping in:) DH actually banned me from buying H any more clothes, but I told him that second-hand doesn't count! I mean, Janie and Jack dresses for $8 and $9? I can't pass that up! They all look like they've been worn once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-392551 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 21:51:58 +0000 Weagle 392551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never buy Carter's, Ralph Lauren, or Old Navy 2nd hand. I look for Mini Boden, Hanna Andersson, Janie and Jack, and Gymboree (for some things). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391952 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:52:49 +0000 shopaholic 391952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Makes sense. We line dry almost everything at our house. It just keeps the clothes nicer. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391934 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:41:15 +0000 T-Mom 391934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: You have to be careful washing... They can pill or snag easily. Maybe wash on gentle and line dry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391912 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:21:37 +0000 Silva 391912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Vermont, so the kid's consignment store near here has a whole Zutano section. I've gotten a few things from there, they are usually in really good condition.<br /> I haven't done any online consignment shopping before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391792 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:25:33 +0000 shopaholic 391792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: @PrincessBaby: I have a friend in Boynton Beach too! LOL! We should all meet up for a baby beach vacay! heheheh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391755 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:10:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 391755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: you're near Boca Raton?? I have a friend who lives in Boynton Beach which isn't far and I've visited her down there. I thought you lived on the other side for some reason :)</p> <p>like you, I buy carters new because it's so cheap. </p> <p>I look for Janie and Jack on ebay as well as ralph lauren, and gap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391748 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:07:50 +0000 shopaholic 391748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Thanks for the input! I've bought some new Splendid littles pieces. Do you think they hold up well for resell? They seem sooo uber soft and thin (which is why I like them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391744 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:06:06 +0000 shopaholic 391744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Love those socks! That's awesome about the consignment shop! I've also been keeping my eye on Janie &amp; Jack stuff on eBay too. $10 is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391742 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:05:23 +0000 T-Mom 391742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy second hand baby gap jeans since they are durable and don't show wear easily. Mini Boden dresses. Maybe splendid littles and little Ella Moss also. Those last two have a very good resale value. Probably not Carter's or Ralph Lauren since its likely to find them at Marshall's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391699 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 13:43:54 +0000 PrincessBaby 391699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Janie and Jack and Juicy....There is a really nice high-end consignment shop in Boca Raton that I've gotten H some Juicy outfits for like $11, and some beautiful Janie and Jack dresses for less than $10. I got a couple of good deals on Ebay for juicy stuff...My favorite steal were Juicy socks that look like the Trumpette ones and they say "Smells Like Couture" on the bottoms! </p> [attach=1247/12/mdc6p6.400x400.juicy-smellslikecouture-socks.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brands-do-you-shop-2nd-hand-for#post-391678 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 13:30:21 +0000 shopaholic 391678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've mentioned it in another thread reply, but I'm cooped up in the mountain cabin by myself this long weekend while everyone else is out skiing. This has officially led me to seemingly have shopped all of the baby girls clothes on eBay! LoL and we might go for broke since I'm bid happy and have 2 more days to go!</p> <p>IDK if it's just me, but even though I like Carters stuff and don't mind good condition used clothing, I really don't want to buy any used Carter's stuff on eBay. I guess I figure it's cheap enough to buy on sale new and not have to pay S&amp;H.<br /> It also led me to think about buying clothes with the mindset of re-selling some of it later. Baby Gap seems to do well half of the time. Ralph Lauren and Juicy are MY personal weaknesses (new &amp; used).<br /> What are YOUR fave brands you'll buy/pay for 2nd hand and what are the ones you wouldn't? (free hand-me-downs don't count obviously, since they came free!) </p>
