Again and a Gain

Nice selection, well priced! I come here every few months as my (now) toddler needs bigger clothes. Consistently, I am able to find attractive and gently used shirts, pants, and shoes. There is also a great selection of used wooden toys, carriers, sleepwear, jackets. Lots of new shoes and socks as well.
The owner is really nice! My first purchase from her was a stroller rain cover advertised on Craigslist. As it was before I lived in West Seattle, she was happy to let me pay for it on the phone and run in to pick it up later that day between errands. Saved me a lot of time and made me a devoted customer.

Wonderful hidden treasure. I was shopping for a baby carrier and was interested in comparing/​contrasting Ergo 360 to Lillebaby. I loved I could try on the carriers and truly feel the difference. The salesperson was incredibly helpful and didn’t unnecessarily up-​sell me on a carrier with features I didn’t need. I will return and recommend to other mothers without reservation!

Agree with other reviewers about the rather clipped, curt, and borderline rude customer service when consigning. The owner seems to be completely insensitive to what it’s like to have a toddler in tow while consigning high end, like new merchandise as she takes her time going over every item with a fine tooth comb and making you wait while helping other people, looking up things, answering the phones, etc. That said, I rather enjoy shopping here (even with the cramped, bargain basement like hunting conditions), since I know she is so picky about the condition of things they take. The prices aren’t that low though, and the merchandise brand quality is about the same as other consignment stores with lower prices. Yet we always seem to find something… In short, I shop here but consign elsewhere.

the employees are very rude every time I try to drop my very clean baby clothes off!!! they tell me my stuff is not clean and they wont take it:(the store does not even have very clean looking stuff!!! I just dropped off a Orbit Bassinet in great shape! it had a little spot on it and the lady told it needs to be cleaned!!! take it home clean it and maybe we will take it!!!

The first time I took items to consign here I felt like the employees were rude. They are very pick and snobby I had clean and high end stuff. I wanted to like the store and do business with them but after today my second time trying to consigning I will never go back! The employee was rude and talked down to me. I wanted to consign a almost new 4moms high end swing. I lifted it in the car went in to the store to see if they would even have room for it. The lady at the counter without even seeing it said the cover had to be washed and put back on and if it needed batteries I had to supply them. I told them it was very clean and never really used. I asked if she wanted to see it first and she pretty much said no because it was not washed. They employee had never heard of a 4moms swing. Then the owner or manger stepped in. Trying to explain their policy at this point I did not care and closed my account and took my swing and cash else were. I sold my swing on craigslist he same day in less then an hour and made more then I’m sure I would have with them! So I guess it was fine they rubbed me the wrong way. Thank you! I will find another place to take my goods!

What a great find!
This place is HUGE and loaded with tons of stuff.
I’ve driven to quite a few consignment shops out of the area and am so happy this is so close because it’s by far the best.
Owner was super helpful in both locating items I was looking for but also with outside resources for other things.
True this place is a really packed with clothes in bins and in every corner but if you want a Nordstrom shopping experience, go to Nordstrom.
They also have a huge selection of maternity clothes, more than I’ve seen anywhere else.

Basic packed consignment/​thrift style store with some new items. The prices are reasonable and the condition is average on the clothes. Plenty to choose from. The shoes were a little beat up so I passed by those. They have clearance items for $ 1 outside that was a nice encouragement to go in and browse.

I went to Again and a Gain to stock up on some maternity clothes and was pleasantly surprised by the selection. There was a great variety, causal and career wear, and the staff were so helpful. I will definitely be going back to try on baby carriers and hunt for some great deals on baby clothes.

A bit crowded with loads of consignment items — the store overflows into the next space and could use another 100 square feet at least… you may have to hunt to find what you are looking for but there are good deals to be had if you are patient. I was able to find one item on my list for baby gear, but was overall underwhelmed with the selection, and they certainly weren’t «garage sale prices».

I went to this kids consignment store today in the search of a BOB double stroller, and they had exactly what I was looking for and more! The sales associate was beyond helpful by showing me all the features on the different new and used stroller brands they carry. I was super impressed, and I’m definitely going back for years to come!

I have visited many children’s consignment shops in the Seattle area and this one remains my favorite. Clothing and shoe selections are vast and prices are reasonable. They also have good quality toys.
When needing to shop for my toddler I generally visit again and again before any other store.
I’ve been a regular at this shop for about 3 years and have never had a bad experience. Don’t let the recent negative reviews deter you from visiting; give it a shot, you’ll be pleased.

Holy unwelcoming employees, Batman! This afternoon, I drove allllll the way from Magnolia to this store during rush hour just to pick through what other Unilocalers have said is a great maternity selection. I would not agree that the maternity selection is very robust at all. What’s worse is that I really hated my time in the store because of the employees.
There were two girls working who right off the bat were complaining about getting several large boxes of inventory on a Friday afternoon. I get it, it sucks to have to do a lot of work on a Friday, but maybe do what you can to keep your negative conversations out of earshot of customers. They were too busy bitching to one another to ever greet me or acknowledge that I was in the store. In fact, one ran into me while going from one area to the next and didn’t say a word or apologize. I actually apologized like maybe I was in her way, and she didn’t acknowledge that, either… wow.
I really want to give this place one star on account of how bad the service was, but I’ll give it two only because it looks like a decent place to check out children’s clothing. But not for me, I will NOT be returning. It felt like a huge waste of time and gas to come be treated like a ghost and be forced to listen to two immature girls complain about their jobs.

I can’t say enough nice things about the staff here at Again and a Gain. I had a unique problem with my little guy in regards to baby carriers (long story), and the ladies worked patiently with me as I tried out all the demos they had. None of them worked for us at the time, and we left empty handed.
After having a minor surgery to correct his issue, I returned to try again. I was able to find a carrier that worked for both of us, again with the help of the fabulous staff. They made me feel so at ease while dealing with a minorly stressful issue that I had no problem deciding to give them my business for this item. We also found a fabulous handmade pumpkin costume for Halloween!

Visited with my kids today and scored three Halloween costumes, and some Haba blocks. The cashier noticed my son’s fondness for Iron Man and suggested a t-​shirt he might like too. We bought that as well. We all had fun at the shop browsing and trying on costumes and left with some real treasures. Yay!

I went to this store once, quite a while ago in search of maternity clothes. The associate was extremely pregnant and spent the entire time on the phone discussing personal relationship matters. I was not greeted and had to interrupt to ask if there was any particular sale going on. The lady told me that everything is always on sale! As if to say the prices were great all the time. Unfortunately the prices were not great, not at all. The store felt stuffy and I felt the prices were top dollar for used merchandise. I won’t be returning.

I was excited to go here, but when I finally made the trip out to West Seattle I wasn’t impressed at all. The store is over crowded and hard to find things since they have so much stuff it was not really organized or clean.
Their maternity clothes had a big selection, but they were all cheap brands/​old looks (can a girl get cute maternity clothes for a good price??/), and I found their prices to be quite high for consignment.
In general it seemed like they catered to less expensive brands but yet they were priced higher than other consignment stores. So I think I will head back to Childish Things in crown hill– I think their store is much better.

I consign here and shop here, often. They usually have pretty cool stuff, this last round we scored, some vintage velour pj’s and an exersaucer, for only 25.00! Sweet! They had a bumbo seat for only 12.00 and a johnny jumper for 17. I love the staff, and they have a great maternity section.
If you go somewhere and pay full price for a baby carrier, you are goober. Go here and check out their huge selection, for a fraction of the cost.

So I don’t have any kids. So you may ask, why am I checking in and going to a Consignment store? Well, I hope to soon have kids. And, I found a great deal on a B.O.B. Stroller. If you’re not in the know, these are considered the Lexus of baby joggers/​strollers. They’re built very well and have the price tag to go along. I was looking online and found that the Again and a Gain had a special sale and we picked up the last single.
The store is a bit crowded, but that is good, as they’ve got so much selection and variety, it’s kind of crazy. The lady helping us was terrific and we left satisfied. Will definitely return to do some more business.

Crazy but somewhat orderly, lots of big name store brands — Carter’s, Circo, BabyGap, to name a few.
The shoe section is insane and too hard to navigate even though they did their best to organize them into size bins … sizes are inconsistent among brands so remember to double check!
The condition of the items are good to fair, so look over an item before purchasing … the variety of items is a plus though! Here are some things to be aware of:
— small book section at the front
— in October the used costumes are out for sale
— the toys and game section is located in the second part of the store
— clothing and shoes are separated by size/​age, but the racks are packed to the hilt
The cluttered appearance of the store may deter you, but if you like treasure hunting, good things can be found. I found a cute babyGap top here for $ 2.50 that was only a few seasons old and we’ve gotten tons of wear out of it. I also saw a Bilibo that was in good condition for a reasonable price … though I still can’t see the appeal of that toy!
I’d visit Again and A Gain if I was already in West Seattle for something else, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go.

All right, well. It’s always strange to have a great customer service experience, to the point where you’re driven to look them up to give them a good review, and find out that’s an oft-​repeated complaint.
In any case I haven’t been inside the store. I found a 4′ antique wonder horse they had listed on Craigslist, and having exhausted my options on Ebay, I called them up to find out if they’d be willing to ship it to Oregon. They were! (This thing probably took the owner two or three hours to take apart and get packed into a box.) They were very friendly throughout the whole thing, even though taking apart and shipping large, antique objects is not something they do as a matter of normalcy. I tried to convince the owner (Sarah) to charge me more to compensate her for the time spent handling/​shipping the item, but she steadfastly refused. The final price once shipped ended up being $ 30 LESS than I had agreed to, and had asked her to charge my card for. I have not experienced customer service of this quality elsewhere, ever.
