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

What is your Opinion?
Historically, our LL Auction begins to close at 7pm every Wednesday Evening. There is 30 seconds between each item, so the last item typically closes around 10 pm.
As a mom myself, I get that isn’t ideal for our Lightly Loved Auction
We are considering 10 am to start the close of the auction, which will put the last time selling around 1pm.

New Territory

It's a commitment.
