How much do you think I could get for a plain Marthon cover?

The cover on my Marathon is plain, and I really don't like it. I never really like the color which is kind of a Sage green. I don't remember the exact name. Basically, we had to rush to replace the carseat when we bought a new car, so I had to hurry and buy a seat at Target, so I didn't get a color choice. (Too bad Target didn't have the Greystone last summer).

Anyway, I've been wanting a 2nd cover for months and had been searching online for a good deal on a new one..I never did find one so I broke down and bought the Crocodile direct from Britax for $60. Wouldn't you know that the next day someone post here about Marathon covers being $35 at OneStepAhead?! I used to order stuff from them all the time, and I've never seen them sell britax covers....

So, I was thinking since it was a good deal, I'd get the New Blues cotton cover since summer is approaching. But, I cannot justify having 3 covers for 1 seat. So, I was wondering, with all the *cute* Marathon covers out there...do you think that my sage green one would even sell? I don't really want to make money, I just want to break even with the new blue one I want to buy.

Also, I was going to list it on Craig's list. But I'm not sure what to list it for. I just sold a Roundabout cover on there for $25. I thought that was fair, but after the response I got, I realized I should have asked for more.

That's less plain than you think it is, lots of people like it. It's either Arcadia or Acadia Grass, it was a Target exclusive... you should be able to get 40 or 50 bucks for it, at least, if it's in good shape :)

Oh yes, 50 would likely be fine. That is one of my favorite Marathon covers. If I had a Marathon, or had the heart (and skill) to turn a MA cover into a BV cover, I'd buy it from you.

Oh! I LOVE that cover! I can't justify spending money on a second cover however, I've gone nearly 3 years with just one. Mine is a boring Stormy cover, now that is plain.
