The demand for us to take in goods is very high and we love it!
We do however have limited space and can only physically go through so much per appointment.
Please read this page in full and be respectful of our requests,
They ensure we can provide this service consistently and in return be respectful of your time and effort as well!
PLEASE READ *updated 5/1*
Please discard obviously stained clothes, toys with missing pieces, McDonalds toys and any items that are clearly not re-sellable.
Going through bags of stained clothes and trash slows the entire process. We would love to be able to open up more appointments!
If your trade is full of these items we will no longer be donating to a non-profit on your behalf; they will need to be picked back up.
Thank you!

The Details
>>><<<
1. We only trade for gently used items. Please go through your clothing items and discard visibly stained/ripped items beforehand. Everything must be laundered and free of odor/animal hair. If half or more of your trade is stained you will be required to pick up these items; we will not donate them for you.
We do not accept trash bags of goods. Small boxes, brown paper bags or reusable totes (that we will save for you upon request) only please. Paper bags ensure clothes can stay folded and less-wrinkled and the bags can be neatly organized. Max total of 6 brown paper bags or 2 bins/boxes. If you have more gently used items then please make a second appointment.
2. You can choose to pick-up or for us to donate any items we do not need. If you choose to pick-up, you will need to come get your items 72 hours after your Trade is finalized. We donate items to Friends of Multiple Sclerosis Society Reno or a local Non-Profit when possible. We cannot donate equipment items for you; only clothing, books and toys. That is why we request a quick picture of your gear, to avoid you needing to pick it up. If you do not pick-up the large item after requests, we will charge a disposal fee from your credit depending on its size.
3. We love toys! Please group toys in zip locks or recycled grocery bags when you can so we know what goes together. Feel free to group random like-items i.e. cars, heroes, barbie clothes... whatever together and we can resell. Also, we LOVE vintage toys! If the item needs new batteries, we can replace them for cost of batteries from your credit.
4. Your store credit is good for any gently used items in the store.
We do carry a lot of new products from popular brands that will need to be purchased separately.
*Unused Store credit will automatically expire one year after it is issued.* Store credit is non-transferable. We do not pay cash.
5. We do not go through your items on the spot, we go in order in which they are received. We will text you as soon as it's done!
We kindly ask for up to 10 days to go through your items, average is 4 days, it just depends on business volumes and staffing.
We cannot hold items in store for you to wait for your credit to be issued.
Store Credit
>>><<<
The amount we offer for your items is a percentage based on what we think we can re-sell the item for.
We are not a consignment store, so we issue credit before anything sells.
We inherently take on the risk of the item not selling or having to reduce prices over time.
We base our resale value on condition as it comes into us and brand.
Generally, most soft goods have a flat rate of pay based on four brand levels: Low-End, Standard, Premium and Super-Premium
