  Selling Tips

Clothing

It is most efficient for us to review items that are neatly folded or laid in a laundry basket, 13 gallon tote or kitchen bag. We ask that all sets be put together as well. Please NO hangers, garage sale stickers or safety pins.

Please bring freshly laundered, buttoned, snapped and zipped clothing that is in good condition without stains, holes, odors, fading or excessive wear. 

We buy all seasons of children’s clothing all year and in season adult clothing!

Equipment and toys

Please be sure your items are in working condition and include all of the original parts. Items and toys must meet the current safety standards and be new within the last 4 years.

Haute Tot is always keeping up with product recalls, and safety information is a top priority to ensure the safety of all toys and to guarantee a high-quality selection. Making sure all products are up to standards is a MUST! 

Appointments, Walk-ins, & Drop-offs

You may choose any one of three buying options: selling by appointment, walking in to sell, or dropping off your items. There is a limit of 1 laundry basket, 1 - 13 gallon tote or 1 kitchen bag if you are doing a walk in. There is a limit of 2 laundry baskets, 2 - 13 gallon totes, or 2 kitchen bags if you are doing a drop off.

APPOINTMENTS

Appointments may be set up by calling 417-720-1602. At the time of your appointment, we will go through your items, let you know what we would like to purchase, offer cash or store credit, and return or donate items we’re unable to take. Having an appointment minimizes the chances of having to wait. 

Note: It takes thirty minutes to an hour to process one bag/bin of clothing, footwear, and toys. We ask that you stay in the store during your appointment.

WALK-INS

 This is for those who value convenience. Walk-in hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10:30-4:30. Haute Tot Upscale Kids Resale’s buying center operates on a first come first serve basis. We will let you know how soon a buyer will be available. The buyer will then go through your items, let you know what we would like to purchase, offer cash or store credit, and return or donate items we’re unable to take. If, for any reason, a buyer is unavailable to process your things in a manageable time, you may ask to Drop-off your things for later processing [See below] or schedule an appointment. 

*Note: It is a good idea to call us 417-720-1602 before you come to the store to check the current wait time.

DROP-OFFS

This option is open to customers having once sold to Haute Tot Upscale Kids Resale and to customers walking in when buyer(s) are occupied and unable to process their things in a reasonable time.  A drop off form is completed.

Note: Due to space limitations, we will accept up to 2 bags/bins of dropped off clothing. We do not allow toys and equipment to be dropped off.
