No accidents ever of course... wouldn't try to sell them if they had..

I have a Frontier 80 with 2 covers - in excellent condition (no spills etc of any kind)

and a Roundabout... (how long are they "good" for? Jan 2005 is the date on it and it had about 2 years of use and the rest bagged in a box stored in cool/temperate basement) - also excellent condition

What would be a good range to price these at?

Also have a Cosco Scenera (sp?) - was thinking 15 - 20 range on that one... too much or OK?

Thanks for any guidelines you can offer.

Re: help with garage sale pricing (Britax)

I am pretty sure that Britax seats have a 6 yr life so the Roundabout is expired.

excellent used condition (looks almost new - I'm anal about keeping things nice) -- 6/23/08 - I know that has a longer 'life' -- that's 9 years, right?

(darn on the roundabout - sigh)

You can sell the cover and pads on the Roundabout. Depending on pattern, you may get a nice amount for them!

How old is the Scenera? $20 for a used Scenera feels very high to me.

Scenera -about 2 yrs old - got it for a trip when we didn't want to haul the 300 lb Frontier... LOL -- after I typed it I thought 15-20 would be too high - figured someone could throw out a more reasonable number...

Roundabout cover - what range?

It might be hard to find a buyer for the roundabout cover since they don't make the seat anymore.

are you saying they redesigned it and it won't fit? Because I did see the Roundabout on the Britax website today...

Yes. It is a totally redesigned seat.

I got $35 on Ebay for an Onyx RA cover (the discontinued short-shell RA) about six months ago. I got the RA on the 'free' table at the dump I tossed the seat and washed the cover a couple times. Score

Re: help with garage sale pricing (Britax)

How recently did they redesign it? Are there still seats in that model out there that are safe to use (not expired)

The Roundabout50 came out about 2 years ago. The Roundabout55 came out within the last year.

Both are sized more like Marathons, MUCH bigger than the original Roundabout. There are Roundabouts out there still. Its just a matter of finding someone who wants a cover who has the original seat.

Re: help with garage sale pricing (Britax)

The formula for finding out what to price a used seat is

Price divided by Lifespan times How many years are left minus Condition Issues if any.

Covers can be a little trickier and it is usually better to put them on ebay and let the buyer decide how much it is worth to them.

Re: help with garage sale pricing (Britax)

I believe they were still making the 40lb Roundabout at the same time as the RA50. I am certain there are seats with at least 2009 DOM's out there. I would just stick the cover on ebay and see what you get. For the Scenera, I would go $10 on that, since they are $39 new at Walmart.
