Second Play Toys Terms

Toys still in play. Just not at your place anymore.

Second Play Toys is a Hello Youngster initiative that helps families pass toys on when their children are finished with them – and helps other families buy good toys in good condition at a lower price.

Some toys are finished being used.
That doesn’t mean they’re finished being useful.

For families clearing things out

Kids grow. Interests change. Cupboards fill up.

Second Play Toys gives families a simple way to move toys on responsibly – without listing them online, meeting strangers or managing messages.

You bring the toys in.
We decide if they’re right for resale.
We sell them in store.
You receive 60% when they sell.

It also creates a clear learning moment for kids:

  • how to let go of things
  • how to value what we own
  • how items can have more than one life.

Not everything is right for resale. We keep this tight and intentional. Toys can be brought in for assessment 10.30am to 4.30pm seven days per week. 

UPDATE: A few families have suggested they don't want any money for the toys they're bringing in. So, we will also provide you with the option to donate your portion of the sale to a local charity - you can let us know if you have a preferred organisation. 

Staying short-term or just passing through?

We often help families who are relocating, travelling, or living here temporarily. When it’s time to move on, Second Play offers a simple way to pass toys on locally instead of figuring out what to do with them at the last minute.

For families buying

Second Play Toys also makes it easier to buy toys in good condition at a lower price.

These are not clearance leftovers or junk.
They’re toys that have simply been outgrown or unused – and still have plenty of play left in them.

You’ll find:

  • familiar brands
  • good condition
  • realistic prices
  • no digging required.

How it works (in practice)

  • We accept toys that are clean, complete and still appealing
  • We price them realistically so they sell
  • We handle the selling
  • We keep the store curated, not cluttered.

This is not a free-for-all resale rack.
It’s part of how Hello Youngster thinks about toys, value and use.

Condition and completeness

All Second Play Toys items are assessed in-store by Hello Youngster before being listed.

Each product page clearly notes:

  • the item’s condition, and

  • whether it is complete or if any pieces are missing.

We use a small number of clear condition categories, ranging from new (sealed) to well used, so you can make an informed decision before purchasing.

If an item is missing pieces or shows notable wear, this will be stated on the product page.

Preparation

  • Required: Select and clean toys that are in good condition, no need to have the box but workable parts are needed and instructions are helpful.
  • Read and complete the Seller Agreement and Intake form (or, you can do this in-store). 
  • Bring your toys into the store:
    • 11am – 4pm on Monday or Tuesday
    • 2pm – 4pm Saturday or Sunday
    • Hello Youngster Toys, 103 Victoria Ave, Albert Park.
