Trade Policy & Guidelines

Thank you for considering Whipper Snappers for your family’s outgrown recycled items. Please take a moment to review our updated trade policies.

Children’s resale is different from adult resale. Children’s clothing does not sell for the same value as adult clothing. This means we may need to decline some items based on current demand, and we appreciate your understanding.

Our trade days are Tuesday to Friday, and appointments are required. Please plan for about 30 minutes during your visit. You can email us to request an appointment.

​

1. Items must be washed, folded, sorted by size, and free from holes, stains, or rips. We cannot accept items with excessive animal hair or toys that do not function.

2. The offer you receive is based on the item’s condition, size, and desirability, provided in store credit only. This credit can cover up to half of your next transaction at Whipper Snappers. For example, if you have $100 in trade credit and your purchase totals $50, you can use $25 of your credit and pay the remaining $25. This will leave you with $75 in store credit for future use.

3. You can bring a maximum of 2 grocery-sized bags of clothing per appointment, and store credit expires one year after issuance.

 

While you may be looking to maximize your return on used children’s clothing, children’s resale is not a highly lucrative business, and if you’re seeking top dollar, we recommend trying to resell on your own for optimal results. Our goal is not to disappoint you.

​

• Store credit will expire one year after it is issued.

• We reserve the right to determine what new goods in-store credit can be used on. For example store credit can be used to pay for new Playshoes or Hape items but not new items from Hocosa.

• Everything sold in store, is sold as-is.
