How Does This Resale Thing Work?

We accept items for resale at both of our location during normal business hours without appointments and without item limits.  We want to make bringing things in as pain free as possible. With this in mind, pleas take the time to sort your items before bringing them to bella stella for consideration. Dirty, stained or out of season items will not be accepted.

Credit is given for baby and childrens’ clothing on the spot; no need to check up on or wait for items to sell. Maternity is accepted on a consignment basis, and credit is added to customers’ accounts when items sell. We do not give cash for resale items. We do not have a strict policy regarding brands we will take, but we tend to take in higher end items, such as Gymboree, Gap, Hanna Andersson, Naartjie, Primigi, Ecco, etc. We tend to take in fewer items purchased at big-box stores such as Wal-Mart, K-mart and Target. We offer 50% of what we estimate will be the final sale price in store credit. We reserve the right not to accept items at our discretion.

In store credit can be used for any in-stock item in the store, including new apparel and baby carriers.

In store credit expires 6 months after issue.

Discounts/coupons/sales prices do not apply when using in-store credit.
