About Us:
We have been selling on eBay since Sept 2009. After fee change after fee change, we quickly pulled out when one fee change was going to make us pay 3 times the invoice than we had been paying. As a mother of two, I began discovering the joy and addiction of Gymboree clothing. I learned what other mothers had seen in the clothing brand, quality, cuteness, style, easy cleaning. I began selling on eBay again with the clothes and learned lesson number two, they went fast. But the fees were still there. So here I am. I have decided to branch out to a new avenue, my own site! It's exciting, but also a little scary. If you want to see our feedback or eBay sales, please contact me for the information.
What Do We Do?
As a site based mainly on Gymboree line of clothing, that is my main focus. As a mother of two girls, that is my main passion. But we will gladly accept any clothes from other popular baby brands and boutique shops. Have you got clothes that you need to get rid of? Don't want to give them away? Turn them around and earn store credit for a new outfit or entire wardrobe! Just send a picture of roughly 10-15 pieces (just be sure we can see what each piece is), any flaws, and a general idea of the precentage of each specific brand, and we will send a quote within 48 hours! Its that easy!! Cost of shipping is covered by us-and because of it we ask for a minimum of 5 pieces, no maximum! Easy to initiate contact through our contact page. New with tag clothes gladly accepted!
What About the Store Credit? How Does That Work?
Store credit is easy and fun! You can start shopping as soon as the offer sent to you has been accepted. Just email me a list of what you want to have put on hold and once the clothes arrive and have been inspected, you will be notified that you can place the order and an invoice will be sent. Store credit does NOT have an expiration date and you are welcome to use some or all at once. Store credit, at this time, does not cover shipping costs.
Why Gymboree?
Gymboree is the #1 selling kids brand on eBay and other popular auction sites. They are cute, interchangable, fun, and very addictive. They have been touted as being easier to wash and get stains out then poorer quality clothing. They have an amazing value, even after your little one grows out of them! Why waste your time and money listing them on craigslist, just to have no shows, eBay to be ate up by fees (just ask me about it), and garage sales that tie up your entire day. We all have our favorite line and there are always other mommys out there looking for a specific piece to complete their kid's outfit(s).
Do You Accept Other Brands?
Yes! We do! But keep in mind that the resale value on other brands are not as good as Gymboree or Janie and Jack. Gap, Carters, Old Navy, Ralph Lauren, Polo, Tommy Hilfigure and other popular brands are certainly welcome.
What Forms of Payment Are Accepted?
Paypal is gladly accepted!
What Are the Conditions of Your Home?
We are a non-smoking home. We have one kitten. We do keep poultry, but they are NOT in contact with the clothes. The babies stay in their box in the house until big enough to be outside. The older poultry are only outside. Clothing is kept in storage containers. I, however, cannot speak to the condition of other people's homes. If something comes to me not smelling good (ie smells like an animal, smoke etc) and it is not new with tag, I will wash it first. I will pre-treat any stains and then use Enviromentally Friendly laundry soap with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide added (both the baking soda and peroxide help the clothes come out cleaner and smell fresh), then hung to dry. I then fluff in dryer at low heat for about 5 minutes and/or iron. Any other questions about the cleanliness is certainly welcome. If you are concerned, you can also wash before allowing your kids to wear.
How is Shipping Calculated?
After your order is packed and the weight calculated, I will send your shipping quote. If you need to facture that into your price, aren't we all on a budget? I know I am. I can send you a rough quote before you pay, just send a note letting me know what pieces you want and I will quote your shipping within 48 hours. Easy!

Can I Return My Item(s)?
Returns are accepted, minus shipping both to and from. There are two circumstances in which I offer returns, wrong size and a missed defect. A picture will be requested if it is a defect and discription. For defected items, you may be offered a partial refund to keep the item, or you can return it for a full refund.
What if My Item Gets Lost in the Mail?
If you want to add insurance, you are more than welcome, otherwise, I will refund the item price (not the shipping though). You also have the option of adding the tracking number, the cost is minimal, and it helps you know when your item will arrive.
Do You Ship Internationally?
YES! We do, just contact me for the proper shipping quote.
Where Do I Get My Pictures?
So you may have noticed, I do not use stock photos, all are photos taken by me. Why is that, you ask? Well its simple. Using pictures made by someone else is not allowed on eBay as it is a violation of copy write. So having learned more on the topic I have taken the decision to use all my own photos, unlike some sellers that use stock photos. Its the right thing to do. So in addition to getting wonderful items on my site, you are supporting someone that is doing it the right way. By buying from sellers that do not use their own pictures, you are enabling them in their immoral and illegal practices. I will not endanger other sites or my own. Period. Yes this is harder and takes more time. But I value my site and my products and I wouldn't want anyone disrespecting my work, and I will not disrespect anyone else's.
So Tell Me About You:
Well, since you asked. My name is Erin, I am a mommy of two little girls. Graciela born 4/06 and Jasmin born 12/08. My husband, Francisco, and I live in a 100 year old house out in the country that we rent cheaply in exchange for keeping the house up. We are very busy selling on eBay, and now here on this site. My husband works as a welder and is starting a towing business, looking to be contracted with AAA soon. I have an obsession for knowing where my food comes from, leading me to grow my own produce, raise my own turkey and chickens and make most food from scratch. We suck up my homemade honey whole wheat bread like its going out of style. I grind my own flour and want to learn to make cheese soon, hey got butter down now! Okay stepping off my organic soapbox. My family is living off of one income right now. I know it sounds like we have a lot of stuff bringing in money, but that isn't so. eBay has been up and down, tow truck is not bringing in much income, yet, and I do not work. But we try, we stay positive. Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you will land amoung the stars!
