Trade of New and Like-New Clothing, Toys, Furniture & Gear
We provide trade upfront, for new and like-new maternity and kid clothing, books, toys, and small gear (most things that come to us in a bag or bin) by appointment. We do appointments most evenings to accomodate working people. After reading the following guidelines, please phone the shop during our business hours (between 11am-6pm) to set up an appointment. We can normally fit you in w/in the week!
Please limit the amount you bring in to 5 paper shoppers (or 2 bins/boxes/larger bags) or less per appointment. We ask this so you don't end up with too much store credit, which is meant to be spent within 8 weeks. We added the 8 week expiration to encourage traders to come in regularly and spend ALL their Bump credit. This is the best way to shop second hand--if you don't pop in every few weeks, you won't find the finds!! However, if there is a time conflict, don't hesitate to request more time by phoning the shop anytime before the expiration, 24 hours a day. All you have to do is leave the 3 digit 'Store Credit #' that is handwritten in the top R corner of your coupon, and you can assume another 8 weeks from the day you leave the message/phone the shop.

The above list is preferable, but not necessary. However, any clothing brought in or sold at the Bump that does not have the original store tag must:
- be CLEAN (fresh from the dryer)
- show little or no wear
- have absolutely no spots or stains
Please save our manager time by sorting through your clothing to abide by these standards before your appointment!
New and Like-New Maternity Clothing (that we will sell for under $20)
We pride ourselves in carrying the largest (and most reasonably priced) selection of dress, casual, comfy, swim, nurse, and office attire out there for the expectant mommy. And unlike new shops where all you see is the same clothing, at the Bump you can take your time sorting through each rack organized by type and size, but filled with all different colors, styles, textures, and brands. We carry and are looking to trade brands including but not limited to:

Our sizes range from XXS through Plus Size (yes, we carry plus size maternity clothes). And no matter what size or brand, our prices START at half of what you'd pay retail, so come check us out today!
Toys, Books, Video/DVD, and Games
What can we say, anything you're no longer using that still works, and contains all necessary parts (including batteries! if electronic and contains no batteries, we will charge $1.50 per battery). We take a look at anything you bring in and let you know if it's something that would sell at the time of your appointment.
Consignment Items
These are usually items we will sell for over $20, and do not require an appointment. But please
phone to check on space befor loading up your car, and then drop off during any of our regular business hours.
And before you consider consigning with us, please read the consignment guidelines here on the site.
Furniture
The most important thing to keep in mind upon drop off is that: all furniture items must be fully assembled. On any given day, you will find a variety of furniture pieces here at the Bump. We usually have two to three cribs in the shop, both the drop-side and fold-down type. Other furniture items would include: changing table, mini-crib, hutch, dresser, armoire, bassinette, anything from PB Kids (rugs, bedding, etc), and the list goes on. Save assembly time/headaches AND money--buy your nursery furniture at Lovely Bump!Gear
These are items like: stroller, jogger, snap-n-go, high chair, carseat(sometimes infant and always stage 2), car booster seat, bouncy seat, excersaucer, mobile, playmat, playpen, swing, diaper bag, breast pump, baby sling (Ergo, Bjorn, Kangaroo Korner, Hotsling, Moby Wrap, and PeanutShell). Please keep in mind that we will deduct 25% of the sell price pre-payout for any furniture or gear item that arrives in need of any kind of TLC: (cleaning, sanding, staining, etc). With these things in mind, dig out those storage areas, bring it in, and let us do the rest of the work!
High End Maternity/Kid Clothing
These are clothing items that will sell for over $20(accounts for a very small percentage of our inventory, as most of our clothing ranges from $.50 to $6.95 max, including maternity clothing). However some is just too nice to price that low. Consignment Maternity brands might include: Seven (citizens for humanity) or Joes jeans, work suits, etc. Kid clothing might include holiday dresses, or certain brands of nwt (new w tag) clothing. Just bring the (possible consignment) items with your other appointment clothing, and we will let you know which would qualify for consignment status.
