Shops buy upfront or sell on behalf of consumers (every store as its own operating policy) &#8211; shoppers score deals on pre-loved items, sellers make money on items they&#8217;re not using anymore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to go<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Online. Buy, sell or swap online &#8211; it&#8217;s effortless and the selection tends to be broader as you&#8217;re pulling from a national inventory.<\/li>\n<li>Physical stores. South Florida has several specializing in children&#8217;s clothes, toys, furniture &amp; other goods (see below for complete list)<\/li>\n<li>Specialty sales. 1-2 special &#8220;event&#8221; sales. Think of a massive sample sales with dozens of individual vendors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How to get started shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go without the kids.
