I know a lot of mamas like to get certain items used and even clothing.
But I don't know...I'm sooo weird about used things. It's not even that I'm a germ-a-phob. I just don't trust stranger's cleanliness even for myself so I certainly don't for my LO!
We definitely have used items & clothing but they are all from immediate family so I know their cleanliness.
Anyone else weird about used items for your LO?

I am okay with clothes and toys that can be easily sanitized (plastic, wood, etc.) but we have gotten a couple of hand-me-down cloth toys and I am so paranoid about germs. I've "quarantined" them indefinitely in the closet until I either forget that they are used (won't happen) or figure out how to clean them (probably also won't happen).

hahaha you're funny. I have bought the majority of my sons' clothes used. We just wash them all of course 
I got a lot of toys from a friend of mine too - we sanitized them all.
the only thing I wouldn't use used is safety gear such as carseat or crib.

Probably half of the girls clothes are used. We don't have anywhere in town I can buy new clothes for them, it's crazy. We have a ton of borrowed stuff as well, I just wash it all and don't accept anything that looks grody.
Our crib and bucket seat are even used, but from people I know and trust.
Seriously, if we had to buy everything new we would hardly have anything, we're too poor

I am if I didn't know the previous owner, I like to know/think that it was clean & well taken care of I guess....but I see other people getting all these great deals & sometimes think I should jump on board!

Nope. I love our used stuff. I have sanitized everything but baby stuff is used for such a short period of time that I hate to spend the money on new things when I can find them used.

I'm OK with most used things. Some things aren't OK with me though.... like cloth diapers and bottles. I know that plenty of people do it and I'm sure it's fine, but it weirds me out.

I know I'm weird! Hahha Logically I know I can sanitize most of things but I just can't get past it in my head.
Oh well that's why we'll be having #2 is how I'm justifying it!
Anddd I never ever pay full retail.
