I can never find any items close to me. It doesn't make sense to drive an hour+ unless you are saving major bucks right?

30 minutes but then again I'm stuck on an island and almost everywhere is 30 minutes away.
-
Yeah, it'd have to be substantial savings for me to drive more than 20-30 minutes. With the price of gas lately, any savings could potentially be eaten up by the cost of gas.
-
Yeah, pretty substantial savings... We did drive to Miami (a little over half an hour) even though I deeply hate Miami, because I got my dream crib for 50% off. That was worth dealing with stupid Miami traffic!
-
i won't go if it's not walking distance. i'm too lazy to even go 15 minutes. luckily most things are within 10 minutes.
-
I'd consider driving 45 min to an hour, but it would have to be a REALLY good deal!
-
I drove 15-20 minutes once for a soft carrier. It was on highway so pretty far. Now I only look for listing within 10 minutes driving local - unless it's a slamming deal.
-
Usually we won't go anymore than 15-20 minutes.
-
Depends on the item - for our stroller and treadmill we drove about 45 minutes each, but they were both great deals. In general, I try and find things within 20 minutes of home.
-
Not a baby item, but we've driven an hour and a half to buy a wagon wheel, lol. We couldn't find one closer and they're very expensive to ship. I really really wanted one, so DH got it for me for my mother's day gift. Totally worth it!
I think for baby items I wouldn't go that far though..... I can't think of something that's super hard to find. Usually you'll be able to go to a consignment store or hunt garage sales and get the same deal.
-
For a really great deal, I'd go 45 mins up to maybe an hour. I'm talking like SUPER good deal with lots of stuff included.
Gas prices suck, but they aren't *that* bad anymore for us. I mean, I drive almost 100 miles a day combined to go to all my jobs (independent contractor) so I guess driving isn't that big of a deal to me since I spend a great deal of time in my car fairly regularly. I know, not good for the environment, but the Bedelia's need the cash flow right now.
-
Up to an hour if it's a big item that I really want/need. Or if I'll be down that way anyhow.
But generally I like to keep it local esp now that I have a baby. Maybe 30 mins.
-
I'm not a big craigslist buyer.. if I found an awesome deal I'd probably drive.. 20 mins tops?
-
The only thing we ever bought on craigslist was a car and we drove about 30 mins. But wouldnt buy baby items from there.
-
I don't even look at the local town craigslist page. I would go 20 minutes max.. DH went about 45 minutes away for a lawnmower though
-
I only search for items in my city, but I've never found any good deals.
-
Being that I live in a small town and the nearest major city is a hour away, I will drive a hour for baby items. As a matter of fact, I got our stroller off of Craigslist, 1.5 hours away from my town.
-
Given that my gas was almost $5/gal this week? Probably 20 min. max.
