Once Upon A Child is a store offering gently used name brand clothes, toys, shoes, equipment, furniture and more for kids from newborn to youth. It has affordable prices and very good prices on good quality items, including holiday items. The store buys gently used baby and kids items all day with no appointment needed, giving cash on the spot. Customers recommend taking gently used clothes to get cash or purchase more. The selection is usually really good for items like dresses and uniforms, and sometimes includes brand new items with tags. Shoppers note it is important to double check items for holes, stains, or missing buttons. The store can be picky about the condition of items they accept for sale, preferring clothes without wrinkles. The Raleigh location is noted as having a much better selection than some other area stores.
The store had many nice clothes to choose from. The summer clearance is going on for 70% off the tagged items. The staff were friendly and helpful. The store is kept clean and tidy. I like that they organize the racks by size and color. It makes for easy shopping.

If you ever plan to sell at the store, I would recommend calling ahead in advance. The hours and days when they would accept items is very inconsistent and subjective in my experience.
