I want to keep it for LO #2, but I think I'll pick my battles on this one since it gives him so much grief to have it around, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1138308 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:30:30 +0000 StbHisMrs 1138308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I don't like storing things and my husband gives me crap about storing Holiday decorations so I sell it.<br /> I sold all of first sons baby things except for his Baby Einstein dvd set, I truly missed 3 items. His crib, a push toy no longer made, and a LeapFrog shopping cart also no longer made. There's 9 years between him and his sister, those items would've lasted!<br /> With Maddy I sold everything except her bouncer and walker, and only because they didn't sell before finding out about #3 ;)</p> <p>It's expensive to replace, yes, but sometimes you'll find new items you like better. It's all about space! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1138289 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:21:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1138289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like you should try to hold on to what you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1138288 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:21:02 +0000 looch 1138288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I hear you, I got a jumperoo from ebay, I want to say the whole thing cost $160 and the majority of the cost was for shipping!</p> <p>We sold it for almost what we paid when we were done with it, but I felt okay doing that because we were relocating and I knew I could pick it up for $50 at Walmart if needed, YKWIM? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1138283 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:19:14 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1138283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: That's the reason why I feel hesitant to sell! I spent way too much on her jumperoo and even though her baby gym was a gift, it's crazy expensive here. But it would be so nice to get rid of it and free up space!</p> <p>@looch: No, well only if AmazonUK still ships here for free, but that would still mean I'm paying too much for it. I won't be able to find it used even if I wanted to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1138277 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:17:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1138277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I limited myself to one big box (the box that our convertible car seat came in). Whatever I could fit in there I kept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1138274 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:16:35 +0000 shinymama 1138274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I place a higher premium on space/lack of clutter over cost savings, so I probably wouldn't keep much.</p> <p>For items that have a short life span (exersaucer, bumbo), I would consider buying used and reselling to offset the expense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1138248 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:08:26 +0000 rachiecakes 1138248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave ours away to friends with the 'pay it forward' attitude that if we're blessed with a second they might find their way back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1138244 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:05:11 +0000 looch 1138244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you easily replace it if you need to? That's my internal rule for tossing/keeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1137828 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 09:45:28 +0000 wheres_c 1137828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My rule of thumb was price. Anything that we could buy back cheaply at a consignment sale I sold: bouncer, swing, exersaucer.<br /> Anything that is in pristine condition or would be expensive to replace I kept. Stroller, baby Einstein jumperoo, etc.</p> <p>We are happy with one, and we may have problems TTC.....but we are still leaning towards 2.<br /> I say if you have the storage space, keep the good stuff...sell the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1137816 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 09:38:25 +0000 loveisstrange 1137816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're keeping the stuff we bought new, stroller, swing, bouncer, etc. We got rid of the activity gym and the jumperoo, since we bought them used in the first place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-or-keep-for-a-maybe-sibling#post-1137814 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 09:37:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1137814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been doing some long awaited cleaning and I'm kind of on a roll selling baby items DD never used/doesn't need. It's been going so well, I'm thinking about selling her toys I intended to keep in case we changed our minds in a year or 2. But do I really want to store a jumperoo and baby gym and various other items for the next <u>few</u> years "just in case"?</p> <p>To the happy with one: Did you keep or donate/sell/give away? If you got rid of it, and ended up having another, did you regret your decision? </p>
