Other Mothers Boise - How We Buy

We process trade-ins daily from 10 am to 5:30 pm.   No appointment necessary! 

We make every effort to process your trade-in promptly while you shop.  However, if you have more than one bag or box, it may be necessary to leave them as a “drop-off”. 

Meet our Asst. Manager~Jen!  jenShe is our main purchasing agent whose experience provides the decisions that bring you the best selections for you to chose from.  She also has the difficult task of declining certain items that do not sell well.  Jen is a valuable member of our Other Mothers Boise Team.

What Items We Buy | Clothing Brands We Accept

With our 16 years of experience, we know which children's clothes and items sell well, and what doesn't. In an effort to bring you the best quality, we must make decisions based on this knowledge. 

messy teenTrade-ins are Fast and Easy -

Here's How!  

  • Clean out your kids closets and their floors!
  • Bring in your clean, current, gently-used items. 
  • Sign in at the podium.  Then, shop while we process your items, or you may drop and go.  We will call you when we are finished.
  • No waiting for your things to sell, like with consignment. We pay you $cash$ or you receive in-store credit on the spot. It's that easy!

We accept all seasons clothing, all year round. However, for your best value, bring in your summer items from Feb. 1 to July 31. Bring your winter items from Aug. 1 to Jan. 31. No appointment is needed.

If you are not sure if we are accepting certain items, please call to find out what we are currently buying. We will be happy to assist you.

We appreciate your understanding if we are unable to buy all of your items. In order to offer our valued customers the highest quality, we accept items based on condition, brand, style, inventory levels, and demand.

If you have items that you feel may not be accepted, we would like to encourage you to donate to the Give Back 25 cent Sale that supports our Treasure Valley community in need.
