As a user of second hand shops for babies it is not time consuming - at least not where I live in Virginia. These stores do excellent business because the market in used infant through toddler clothes and toys is HUGE.
- ajford 11y agoLocation factors in to this a LOT. When I lived in south Texas, the second hand market was thriving (at least in clothes and some less expensive toys). I now live in Puerto Rico, and second hand shops don't exist as far as I can tell (cultural thing - second hand items go to relatives and friends). I had family in the central TX area, who would find higher value items at second hand stores (cribs, car seats, even an entire toddler room furniture set) for very reasonable cost, which didn't appear often in my area. I even had them start calling me when things would appear, and in a couple cases I had them purchase and hold items until I could make the trip to pick it up from them (and pay them back).
