APPOINTMENTS FOR CHILDREN'S CLOTHING
The purchasing of clothing is done by appointment only and is seasonal. Spring & Summer items will be purchased from February through June. Fall & Winter items are purchased from August through December. On your appointment day, you may drop off anytime during the window of 10am - 2pm. There are no appointments on Saturdays, but special exceptions can be made, should our schedule allow. Once items are dropped off, please allow 2-3 days for me to look over your items and decide on which I would like to purchase. I will then email you with an offer for your items.

Our offer to you is typically between 30% to 35% of our initial selling price. Offers are based on all items accepted and we are not able to remove individual items from the offer. Please understand and be aware, we are NOT able to give you an item by item listing. Naturally, you have the option to accept our offer or refuse it. Once the offer is accepted or declined, you have two business days (ours are Tuesday through Saturday) to come by and pick up your check and your unwanted items. If you do not come back within the alloted time frame, your items will be come the property of Ladybugs & Lizards and will be disposed of at our discretion.
TIP: If this is your first time in to sell to us, you may want to visit our store to get an idea of how much we are able to sell things for and therefore, have an idea of what we may be able to pay you.
