Trade/Sell


At Toy Central, we work primarily on a trade-in basis. We accept Trade-Ins as Drop-Off only at this moment. Please call the shop at 604-857-3230 if you have questions about what we are currently accepting.

How does it work?

Bring us your gently used toys, children’s books, and video games in excellent, very clean condition. We will assess them and respond back with a store credit offer. This is a credit to be used on any Toy Central merchandise. It never expires, and will be held on account in our computer system.

We are currently not able to offer cash for items unless previously arranged with management. Please reach out to sarah@toycentral.ca in advance if you require cash for your items.
