Second-hand kids’ clothing in Minneapolis typically sells for $7 to $47. Well-known brands hold their money because parents trust them to survive a second child, while supermarket ranges have very little resale value at any age. Outerwear and shoes carry far more than everyday tops.
Buying kids’ clothing in Minneapolis
Minneapolis has severe winters, a great many lakes and a cycling culture that persists through both.
Age labels correspond only loosely to any actual child, and two garments marked the same can differ by a good few centimetres. Holding something against the child it is meant for settles that at once, which no size chart manages.
What to check in person
Check knees, elbows and cuffs, which is where children’s clothing actually wears, and look inside the collar for a name label. On anything with a zip or popper fastening, run it a few times, because that is what fails first.
Collecting it in Minneapolis
