I think I got $75 for it and it was free to me (insurance paid for it)!

I would like to burn it already, even though I'm pregnant and will be using it soon, lol. I just really hated pumping, and I was an EPer.

Once we're done having kids, I'll probably try to sell it or donate it.

If you can't or don't feel comfortable selling it you may want to call them and see if they offer one. lamariniere on "What did you do with your pump when you were done with it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-pump-when-you-were-done-with-it#post-2090944 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:52:35 +0000 lamariniere 2090944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sold mine through my parenting list serv!

I get mine free from insurance so it would be nice to pass it along to someone who may not have that option. 2PeasinaPod on "What did you do with your pump when you were done with it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-pump-when-you-were-done-with-it#post-2090919 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:46:41 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2090919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I bought mine at a yard sale and just bought new parts. I'm not sure if it will last through a second child, but if it does, I may try to see if I can donate it somewhere (though highly unlikely). regberadaisy on "What did you do with your pump when you were done with it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-pump-when-you-were-done-with-it#post-2090918 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:46:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2090918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sell it?

That would hurt considering how much I paid for it but I'm not sure if there's even another option. What did you do with yours?
