Welcome
Your go-to place to buy & sell Lightly Loved Baby, Kid & Maternity items!
Are you nodding along?
Overstuffed Storage?
Piles of kids' clothes that tell a story of growth spurts and seasons passed.
Maternity Gear?
Those once-essential items now idle, gathering dust.
Time? Who has it?
The mere thought of photographing, listing, and haggling feels like a second job you didn't sign up for.
If you're silently saying, "That's me,"
you're exactly where you need to be.
Welcome to Lightly Loved Auctions!
Hey there!
I'm Kristine, a fellow parent navigating the whirlwind of growth spurts, playdates, and all those "never-worn" tags on clothes that somehow, our kids skipped a size to miss. If you're like me, your home is a treasure trove of memories in the form of outgrown onesies, once-loved toys, and maternity wear that you're parting with a touch of nostalgia.
Let's be real – the thought of sorting, snapping pics, and posting each tiny sock or toy online is daunting. And the "is this available?" messages without follow-through?

No thank you.
This is precisely why we at LL Auctions, which my husband and I have proudly co-owned and grown into a trusted auction house since 2016, are excited to unveil our newest endeavor tailored for parents: the Lightly Loved Auction.
Imagine a place where you can send off your gently used baby, kid, and maternity items, not just to find a new home but to start new stories. Where every unsold piece is a donation in waiting, ready to bring joy to another family.
​
Exciting News: We have officially launched!
​
Here is what we are about:
-
No Hassle Selling: We photograph, we list, we sell. You get the check. It's that simple.
​
-
Community: A circle of parents who get it, offering up what we no longer need & finding what we do.
​
-
Heart and Simplicity: We know your time is precious. We've created a process that respects that – no haggling, no guesswork.
Our weekly auctions are a ritual for our community of over 15,000 bidders. And now, we're channeling this energy into Lightly Loved Auctions, where our children's past favorites become part of another child's future joys.
​
So, if you're ready to declutter without the stress, to pass on the love without the hassle, and to discover the next treasures for your little ones – you're home.
With warmth and a shared understanding,
Kristine Gregory
