FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How does selling with Bird in the Nest work?
We buy gently used children's and maternity clothing, toys and select gear by appointment. We give you store credit for the items we can take; we also offer a consignment option for larger-ticket items (strollers, high-end gear, etc.) Check out our "How It Works" page for more information.
How do I use store credit?
Store credit is good on almost anything in our store, including resale items and new items from brands such as Hape Toys, Melissa & Doug, and Swaddle Designs. We occasionally support local makers who sell their items in our shop, and for these items we cannot accept store credit. Store credit never expires and is tracked in our system for you to use any time.
When can I bring in my stuff to sell?
We buy Monday through Saturday. We buy by appointment only, in order to guarantee that you don't walk in to a long line of sellers ahead of you. Setting up appointments also allows us to control the flow of inventory, which gives you a better chance of selling more items! To make an appointment click here, call or email us.
What about parking?
Parking is free along Laurel Street for 2 hours.
What is your return policy?
Store credit is issued for returns. Used items should be returned within 7 days and must have original tags attached and be accompanied by the receipt. New items can be returned within 14 days if accompanied by original purchase receipt or gift receipt. Sales on consignment items are final.
Do you sell Gift Certificates?
Why yes, yes we do! Stop in, give us a call, or email us to purchase one.
What size clothes do you sell?
We sell preemie to size 7/8. We are working on selling larger sizes! We also have maternity and nursing clothes.
Can I sell something without an appointment?
Occasionally we do take walk-in sellers when we have a particular need for certain items; we will post this information on our social media pages.
What brands do you buy?
We love to see things from all brands as we see cute stuff come from everywhere! We keep a good variety in the shop. A few favorites that sell really well are Tea Collection, Mini Boden, Crewcuts, Hanna Andersson, Baby Gap and Janie & Jack.
