Children's Consignment Store in Maspeth, NY

On the Road Again Inc.

A store catered for your child's everyday needs. They have a large varieties of  books, toys, clothes, shoes, strollers, bikes, scooters, bassinets, children's furnitures, car seats, dvd's and more. Most of the items here are gently used. You can also find items that are still in their original packaging. It is a great way to save some money and reuse items again. More money in your pocket and another great way to help the environment.

If ever you decide to pass by you will definitely get a chance to meet Carol, the owner, an amazing and warm lady. She began to establish the store when her first born was a toddler and who is now 17yrs old. She loves managing this store because it has given her a chance to work and be with her own children at the same time. She also has expressed the delight in meeting new people and mostly the wonderful parents around the community. Most of her clients includes grandparents, teachers, daycare center operators, therapists and, of course, parents who are always looking for good deals in the neighborhood.

 


From board books, picture books, chapter books and other reading levels that will satisfy each child's needs. And there also some books for parents as well. You will also find toys and entertainment that will fit your child's age and interest.

  

You will find clothes and shoes that are in season, mostly gently used and some are even brand new or never worn before.

They are buying children's items for up to 40% of what they can sell it for in the store. They will always pay you in cash, no store credit here. So, if you have any items that you think could be worth something and in a good condition bring it to them and see how much you can get it for. I had the chance (a few times already) to bring some old books and toys that my son had outgrown already. The money that I got back from the items I  sold in the store had helped me pay for his new book and toys (also bought from the store). What a great way to recycle :) .

They buy items from Monday to Friday from 10am - 4pm and Sunday from 11am -to 4pm. They buy summer items during the month of March and  August are for the winter clothes.

Thrifty yet trendy

It was beautiful sunnny day, it was a good day to go out and explore the neighborhoods. Since the kids were out of school for the winter recess break. I decided to tag them along to my quite addicting hobby , which is thrift shop shopping. Every one was on board and was very excited to the idea. I found this 2 great thrift store in Astoria. What I love about this stores are that they are only a few blocks a way from each other. It was easy for me to walk and go to the next thrift store if ever I did not find any intereresting old or new treasures that I consider a rare find and just a good steal from the rest.

The Goodwill store has been replaced Steinway Thrift Shop.

This goodwill store was newly opened. You can find most of their items brand new and still in there original packages. You can notice that most of their  items came from a major retail store. If your are still looking for those Missoni pumps and maybe some few Missoni items, that cause madness in this store last fall. You might to want to visit this goodwill store.
