Our Story
As parents of two awesome kids (”Hi”, ) who are growing fast, we know that most every parent today has a room or garage full of baby/kids clothes, toys, strollers, etc. that they no longer need. Most of this stuff is hardly used, but because it’s no longer needed, we are forced to either donate it or give it away at a loss. Until now!
StorkBrokers.com is an online marketplace that allows parents to sell all their no longer needed baby & kid items.
What makes StorkBrokers unique is that:
- It’s a community of parents who want to help and have meaningful interactions with each other;
- Most every parent already has a house full of inventory ready for sale; and
- If you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can request someone list it and we’ll notify you when they do.
Join us in the quest to make everything “New Again”!
Our Mission

Our Logo
The Story Behind the StorkBrokers.com Logo
Yes, they are storks. And the storks do form the letters “S” & “B” for Stork and Brokers.
However, this is where the story gets a little mushy and a tad bit sappy...LOL.
The “S” also represents the first letter in my hubby’s name (Sterling) and the “B” represents the first letter in my name (Bridget)
The storks’ instense stare into one another’s eyes represents the deep connection and togetherness we share with each other, as well as with StorkBrokers. Often you will hear us refer to StorkBrokers simply as “SB”. This is because we, SB (Sterling & Bridget), have poured our hearts, souls, and all that we are into “SB” (StorkBrokers) to make it a wonderful experience for you.
And although Sterling can be quite chivalrous by letting me (his bride) go first at appropriate times, his “S” being before my “B” in this way just feels right...and we like it.
We would like to thank our design team The Groop for listening to our story and creating an awesome logo that truly represents who we are as a business and as a Husband & Wife Team.
