Golden Child

Dirty, place smelled like smoke. Everything seemed really shabby and run down. You can get better deals shopping sales a at regular stores.

I went to Golden child to buy a friend of mine some baby duds and I was very impressed by the great service and selection. This place makes me want to go out and get me a baby momma and make some babies!
Any ladies interested in making babies just hit me up.

I liked this place.
I used my spend $ 10 get $ 10 coupon here and went to town spoiling my niece. I stopped in because I had the coupon, and had to see for myself what was going on with the reviews that seem to me to be bitter and quite biased.
The owner was extremely friendly and her kids and mother (I think it was her mother) were there also. I liked the family feel and the kids were stinkin’ adorable! I would have chatted with the owner longer but my dog was waiting in the car. It’s a little crowded inside but hey, it’s a consignment store! The more the better I say.
What I really liked about this children’s consignment over others I have visited is the selection other than clothes. I saw baby bouncers, bath tubs, toys, swings, you name it. This is part of why it feels crowded but again, I think it’s a good thing. I purchased a Baby Bjorn here for my sister for only $ 35. It looked good as new to me and you cannot beat that price. I browsed the clothing aisles and purchased a few items, I didn’t think the prices differ from any other consignment shop, in fact I have definitely been to some that are twice the price of this place.
It’s located off the beaten path but worth a stop in here. As another reviewer says, there is no reason to pay full price for baby clothes, toys, and products when you can buy gently used items for less than half the price.
First time auntie right here, so you know I will be back!

Been meaning to stop in for some time now and went in this weekend. Really disappointed. The owner was lovely and gave my daughter a toy, then I felt I had to buy something. But then I looked at the prices, I thought they were extremely high for a consignment store. And the place is pretty jam-​packed, making it very hard to manuever with a stroller. I found similar toys much cheaper at other consignment stores. Unfortunately, will not be back.

I feel the need to write a review for several reasons: 1) Positive reviews are much more informative and influential than complaints for small businesses — complaints should be non-​passively made to the owner in person so that they can address them immediately and make improvements, because any good small business owner will want to address that immediately; 2) The complaints posted for this small business are unnecessarily rude, unconstructive, and inconsiderate; 3) I love and depend on this store for my parenting needs.
I have nearly always found what I was looking for at Golden Child. If Tricia doesn’t have it at the time, she will put my name on a list and call if she gets it in. Since taking over ownership of Golden Child, I have appreciated the many improvements she has made, including, improved organization (including electronic inventory) and flow for a small space with no room for expansion without moving to a different location. I regularly use the Facebook page and website to inform me of the hot ticket items she currently has, any deals, any unforseen change in hours, and any questions (which she responds to in a very timely manner). The prices are very affordable compared to other places, and if she has not accepted items from me, she always has a good reason (i.e. too much of one thing at the time and not enough space to store duplicates). My experience with other consignment stores has not been so easy or pleasant — one store even turned away a designer shirt because the tag on the inside had a snag, eve though the shirt was otherwise in mint condition.
In response to the unnecessarily rude and inconsiderate complaints posted, it sounds to me like corporate stores are a better fit for you than supporting locally-​owned small businesses. Calm and constructive criticism is much more effective than profane words. Tricia is able to keep prices low, because she has no employees, and therefore has low overhead. She also is very dilligent about keeping customers informed of unforseen changes in posted hours via both her Facebook page and her website, and I would imagine if you called the number before heading there, there would be information in the voicemail greeting. The clothes are organized by type and then size, like most other consignment stores and department stores, so not sure where that comment came from. I find it hard to believe that a parent, grandparent, teacher, childcare giver, or friend or other family member of someone with children etc. (because who else would have a reason to shop at this store), would not understand that Tricia’s duty as a parent comes first, especially when it comes to sudden, unexpected medical issues, or the inflexibility of doctor’s offices. This is a small mom and pop business. They don’t have the resources to hire a bunch of backup staff and still maintain reasonable enough prices to stay in business. It is not that hard or time-​consuming to make a phone call or check a website before you head to a place you know is a small business to make sure they are open. If you can’t be tolerant of life circumstances of a small business owner, then you always have the choice to get fleeced at places like Once Upon a Child. By all means, it makes for more selection for those of us who appreciate more personal customer attention.
That is all. I will be going back to Golden Child again and again and again and again.

I love this store. It’s the first place i go when I need kid gear or clothes. I can always find something in my desired price range, which is great. I like reusing, recycling, and reinventing; and this is my go to place. If I know that I’ll be needing something I just let Trisha know and she keeps a look out for it. Much better option then the over priced dept. stores. This is a great way to save money while supporting the community, you can even make some money here!

Not impressed. The clothes and shoes I looked at were not clean; some were downright dirty. It takes a bit of nerve to sell a Carter’s for Walmart outfit for $ 4.95 used… especially when I just bought the exact same outfit as part of a new 4-​piece layette set for $ 6.99 at Costco. The store also smelled weird — like incense which was off-​putting.

Decent consignment store.

Great customer service. I had seen this business’ rapport with customers who use Facebook and have social media stalked them for some time. Online they post some of their larger and most coveted goods as they come in — so it is easy to keep an eye on bigger items. The store is a little cramped but the quality range is broad and awesome from basic brands to high-​end brands. You need to take your time to look around because the stock is constantly rotating. I went in today and had the place to myself but can see how it can get chaotic with multiple customers. The owner really makes the place and I am a fan of how she runs her business. I will be a repeat customer. Be sure to keep an eye out for their deals — I went in today not realizing all clothing was on sale then ended up being pleasantly surprised with my bill.

Great place to pick up quality used children’s items, go there for lots more than just a swing and clothes; think diapers (cloth, covers, prefolds), books, breast pumps, carriers, and lots more. The space is small, which is the only downfall but if you can’t find what you need just ask and they might have it in back!

This place is excellent! There is absolutely no reason to buy all the crap you need for a baby (that baby uses for like a month) new when you can get it at the Golden Child for much less, and in excellent condition. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you are looking for something in particular they will find it for you. The prices are awesome.
The only reason I knock off a star is that the space is rather small and it feels a little overcrowded with stuff.
The other HUGE benefit in my mind, is that it saves me so much time and aggravation. When it got cold recently, I realized I was quite underprepared when it came to baby’s cold weather clothing inventory. Whoops, I guess I’m not an A+++++ mom. But rather than drive to the mall, park, walk really far to Target, walk even farther to where I think the baby section is, realize the baby section is on the other side of the store, etc etc, I can get to the Golden Child, ask where the mittens are, buy them, and be home in about ¼ the time. Its a lifesaver.

Golden Child has a great selection of kid’s clothing, and considering that my preschooler finds a way to destroy her school clothes on a weekly basis, I am often in need. The staff is friendly, and I had no problems using the credit I had on file from items I brought for consignment. They also usually have a good selection of strollers, toys, and other things kids need. Last time, I found the case we needed for a leap pad and some fleece pullovers with no pockets (so they can’t be filled with dirt and rocks). My washing machine thanks you!
