Wear It Again Sam

I made the mistake with my first child of buying everything brand, spanking new. I now have a spare room full of very expensive regret that I didn’t find this shop sooner. ‘Wear It Again Sam’ is a find. It’s a trove of second clothing, books, toys and DVD’s for kids from birth to double digits.
Even better is that you can offload some of your own seconds and they will give you a combination of cash and store credit for you to get more stuff that you can stumble over in the living room. The lady who founded this shop is lovely but don’t let her advancing years fool you, she is wily and has been looking at cast-​offs for year. Her valuation of the items I took in for sale involved a silent one-​sided negotiation using something akin to a closely guarded ancient algorithm. I felt grateful as she relieved me of a some seriously great gear in return for fifteen real Australian dollars and a store credit. She’s impressive.

The store also does costume/​party hire. This room is bright and sparkly and should have a health warning for those suffering migraines.
Make this shop your go to if you have kids.
Note: Be sure to call them in advance if you wish to sell items as they, quite sensibly, are looking seasonal stock only.
