Lil' Traders (formerly Buffalo Kids)

This spinoff enterprise has the same standards as its Buffalo Exchange parent: If it ain't stylin', it ain't tradin'. In these economic times, especially, it's the place to go for the most generous gifts for the kids in your circle. They'll never know you paid less than half-price for those good-as-new Diesel jeans or that fairy-tale flouncy Charabia sundress with the blue flowers. Even the durable, practical stuff that every child needs is a bargain. Why buy it new? Somebody's kids outgrew these things long before they wore out. You know your kid will give them the punishment for which they were made.
