But I also found a really awesome company on this website that sells primarily USA, but also natural, Fair Trade and other eco-friendly toys. Down to Earth Toys, www.downtoearthtoys.com/ is an online store run by a mom and to my delight she is also local (Michigan). I found some really great gifts for my girls and also purchased some natural baby teething rings and rattles for my girlfriend who is expecting this month. the customer service is outstanding.

You are totally right that you can find used toys for toddlers that are not completely worn out. I did a clean up of the toys when I got them home and they look as good as new!
