I got her FP Rainforest swing for $25 and it's been awesome. I got a FP jumperoo for $25 as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-751487 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:16:05 +0000 deerylou 751487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't buy something used off craigslist that wasn't at least 40% off. Unless of course it had never been used/opened, then I might be more willing to purchase closer to the retail price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-751476 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:10:24 +0000 shopaholic 751476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd consider it a good deal for about 25-35% of the original price. Also depends on the condition and age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750694 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:31:57 +0000 emg86 750694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For most items I usually look for them to be half off whether it be on Craigslist, garage sales or most consignment shops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750670 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:13:35 +0000 mamabolt 750670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 1/4-1/3 of the price is fair for most items, up to 1/2 for higher end brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750649 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:07:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 750649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: Oh good-- I just sent an email offering $20 for the frame (she was trying to sell it with a carseat, so I just made up the number for only the frame). We'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750638 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:03:39 +0000 kml636 750638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a snap &amp; go for $20 on craigslist! I have found some amazing deals on there. I got one of the big swings (retails for $160) for $40 and the bjorn bouncer for $60. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750627 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:01:41 +0000 knittylady 750627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just today bought an Ergo with infant insert from someone for 85. Full retail for both items would have been 160. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750625 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:01:33 +0000 Bao 750625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least half off, if not more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750616 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:58:55 +0000 MrsTiz 750616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If something costs $100 brand new, I wouldn't pay more than $50.</p> <p>If they won't go lower than $75, I could just buy it new! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750614 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:58:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 750614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I agree-- at least half off! Same goes for most stuff on Craigslist-- we've also been looking at big furniture. It seems like for some thing, though, it should be even more... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750602 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:57:12 +0000 lavender 750602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've bought a handful of used baby items of craigslist and usually for at least 60% off, my most recent item was a baby einstein bouncer for $30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750598 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:55:23 +0000 Anagram 750598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I feel the same way I felt about pre-owned wedding dresses: It should be half off (at least) for me to thing it's a decent deal.</p> <p>It sort of infuriates me when people will post a fancy crib or something they bought for say, $1300...and they're posting it for $900 after a year of use. "Our baby hardly ever used it", they'll post. I just feel like...I'd rather spend the extra $400 a buy a brand new one. But if it's listed at 1/2 price or less....and that's with very little/no wear and tear, then I think it's a good deal.</p> <p>How can someone expect to use an item for a year or two, and then have someone else buy it used for the majority of the total cost? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/used-gear-on-craiglist#post-750576 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:48:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 750576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you think is a reasonable mark down for a used item on Craigslist? For example, a snap and go stroller frame that retails for $100-- what would you expect to pay to purchase it from Craiglist? </p> <p>I've been very lucky in that I have a lot of *free* hand me downs from my sister, and a lot of the big things I want new for one reason or another, but something basic and short lived like the stroller frame I'd be perfectly happy to buy it cheap and used. Not sure what kind of prices to expect/offer. Is there some basic fraction you usually do (1/2 off, 3/4 off?) </p> <p>Thanks. </p>
