Like, in the next year. Maybe save a couple of pieces you really loved but definitely sell the rest. His SO may have completely different taste than you. I see some of the things my friends put on their babies and I'm like..... no thanks lol. I'm sure they would say the same for my style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1476894 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:42:56 +0000 sandy 1476894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: completely agree! </p> <p>Who knows when he'll get married and have kids and by that time there will likely be bigger/better/different baby gear. My friend saved all her baby stuff for her brother and her SIL doesn't appreciate or want any of it. She wishes she had just sold it or given it away earlier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1476868 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:36:07 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1476868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why not keep some of your favorites to give to him and sell the rest? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1476189 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:26:16 +0000 yin 1476189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep for future DD3 ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1476185 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:25:42 +0000 Andrea 1476185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote sell. Keep anything that you reaaaaallly want to stay in the family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1476183 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:25:32 +0000 Bao 1476183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would sell it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1476179 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:25:02 +0000 mrsjyw 1476179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SELL! My bro wouldn't care and I don't know if FSIL would want it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1476174 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:24:10 +0000 HabesBabe 1476174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First come, first served.</p> <p>I'd sell it, or give it to my friend (if it was a close friend; I would feel weird getting money involved with a close friend). She wants it now, she obviously likes it, so better to get it off your hands! I would keep anything "sentimental" for your brother's future girls... otherwise, it might not even be his style, your gear might be out of date or whatevs by the time he has kids, he might not even have girls (for the clothes), etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475964 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:01:20 +0000 Rubies 1475964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: @Greentea: These are exactly my two arguments! Aaaah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475958 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:00:25 +0000 Greentea 1475958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep! I think it is special to keep... more special than the money- very sweet and sentimental and I would have loved that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475935 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:56:24 +0000 cyndistar3 1475935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: +1 to everything you just said!</p> <p>I would just hate to keep stuff for who knows how long and then have your brother's so not want any of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475928 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:55:11 +0000 MrsH 1475928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably sell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475927 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:54:57 +0000 Bookish 1475927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how far he is away from having kids. If within the next few years, sure, keep it, but if we're talking like 5 years away, I'd probably hate to store something that long, especially since things like recalls, etc might change their usefulness.</p> <p>My sisters are only 21 and nowhere near getting married or having kids, so we're going to sell our gear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475921 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:53:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 1475921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your brother know you're setting it aside for him? </p> <p>I'd probably sell... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475913 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:52:14 +0000 Pepper 1475913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd sell. Who knows if he'd have a girl, and the clothes may not even be in season, depending on when the child is born. Maybe just keep a few things you really like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475912 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:52:11 +0000 Raindrop 1475912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted to keep it... but other people have good points in selling it. I mean fashion might be totally different when your brother finally has kids... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475908 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:51:07 +0000 Ginabean3 1475908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep some and sell the rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475900 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:49:16 +0000 heffalump 1475900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask what he thinks. And personally I would say if he wants them he can take them now. I just don't have a lot of storage though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475899 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:49:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 1475899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far is your brother from having kids? </p> <p>I received a ton of hand me down gear from my nephews and my DD has no problem being in a blue tub or whatever. I will save my stuff for my siblings future Los as well, hopefully one has a girl! </p> <p>Would your friend be interested in just borrowing some of it and returning it when or if your brother has a girl? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475871 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:45:25 +0000 Dandelion 1475871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is he having kids soon? I would sell it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475868 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:45:06 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1475868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I voted KEEP, but then I realized he doesn't even have kids yet?? I wouldn't keep stuff for that long, especially if you're done with kids... so I would sell it all! No guarantee he's going to have girls either.</p> <p>My sister recently gave birth, so I gave away all my baby boy clothes and gear and toys to her that J isn't using anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475867 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:45:00 +0000 rawrasaur 1475867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tough! I plan to do the same thing. I guess it depends on what kind of storage space you have and how long it will be before he has kids. Maybe you can sell some and keep other items? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475862 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:44:23 +0000 chopsuey 1475862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, there's no guarantee your future sil will want or appreciate all the stuff you're saving for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475856 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:43:15 +0000 chopsuey 1475856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is your brother dating? Engaged? </p> <p>I would sell! Unless kids were in his immediate future (1-2 years!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sell-to-a-friend-or-keep-to-give-to-sibling#post-1475849 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:41:56 +0000 Rubies 1475849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All my baby clothes and gear that is still in good shape is being stored away for my brother for his future kids (if he ever has girls) and I do this happily and excitedly.</p> <p>A friend asked if she could buy EVERYTHING. No price mentioned, just the idea of buying for her future daughter.</p> <p>Some people might think it's a no-brainer but I'm seriously torn! Sure, it would be great to make a few dollars but it's my brother!</p> <p>What would you do? </p>
