Good is the grade most second-hand children’s clothing is actually sold at — roughly 65% of top price, or $4 to $31 across the category (about £3 to £23). Worn through a season and still sound: no holes, working fastenings, elastic still holding. A stain or a hole means Fair.
Where the line falls
Children’s clothes are outgrown long before they wear out, so the real question is how many children have already had it.
For comparison, one grade up is Like New Children’s Clothing and one step down is Fair Children’s Clothing.

Common questions
Is it from a smoke-free home?
Some fading, light bobbling at the knees and cuffs, and often a previous child’s name in the collar.
