"Everytime I come here to sell, there’s always a new restrictive policy. Save your time and don’t bother selling here"

"This location used to be stellar, from selection to pricing. As someone that was formerly employed by a high-end resale platform online-and had my own resale business-I’m well-aware of the slim profit margins OUAC locations operate within. They clearly can’t give you $10 for your Cat & Jack or Carter’s. But for brands that are boutique/small shop, you expect a little more. This location used to be fantastic for small shops/boutique brands/Euro brands/etc. They always had MJ, Eleanor Rose, SweetHoney, etc. as well. You could find great treasures as well as decent store brands that will last through daycare and playground days. To say this location has changed is an understatement. The racks are filled with Carter’s, Okie Dokie, Gap, Arizona, Garanimals, etc. You find exactly what you’d find at a local thrift store but for a higher price point. The good stuff they do have-mostly Zara with some Kate Quinn-is overpriced for the wear. I took a bin with mostly NWT Kate Quinn bamboo-I also had some Alice + Ames, Remie Girl, Lola + The Boys, Hanna, Rylee, and more-and they wanted to give me $60. I did not accept their offer and took all of my clothing home. I plan to sell on the Facebook BSTs that are specific to the brands I have. Please understand that I am not saying I wanted hundreds of dollars for what I brought in to sell, but I expected more than $60 for a large Rubbermaid bin that was mostly NWT Kate Quinn and other high-end brands which were all in VGUC. The racks are filled with store brands that are grossly off trend so you’d think they’d want to get some good stuff in, but maybe this location doesn’t serve that demographic. After attempting to sell here twice in the last year and finding both experiences to be exactly as I stated here, my hypothesis is that the area doesn’t support those brands considered high-end or boutique. I decided to write this for anyone that *does* want to consign or sell brands like those I wanted to sell and similar. I suggest going to the Wesley Chapel location or going to SweetPea Consignment; I know the owner and she is amazing. You don’t get cash on the spot but she sells stuff quickly and her selection is all the best kids clothing: Boden, MJ, Peek, Posh Peanut, Hanna, Kickee, Rylee, Mini Rodini, etc. It’s heavenly, I can’t recommend it highly enough. P.S. I attempted to upload pictures of the items I was trying to sell but it would not allow to attach them to the review. I would be happy to provide pictures on request."

"You can bring your old kid stuff here. They are pretty judgy and sometimes things are 'misplaced'. They offer next to nothing for your items-pennies on the dollar due to they do have reasonably priced stuff so that kinda balances it out. Staff is usually very busy sorting through mountains of clothing so time is of the essence. No eye contact, no small talk, which was not a problem for me. Good place to get 1x event items from like: snow shoes/jackets, dresses and mini suits, soccer shoes/kleets."

"Excellent store! Manager was so friendly, helpful and professional. Employees were very welcoming. Great quality of items, clothes etc. Very clean. Waayyyyyyy better than Brittan Plaza location in S.Tampa(poor customer service). This is my go too Once upon a child location since I've moved back to Tampa! Thanks guys!"
