Think I should grab this Regent?

elle7715 · Jun 4, 2007

My heart is all afflutter because I found this listing on CL:

"Was asking $200....now at an unbelievable price of $180. Paid $280

This was manufactured in Feb 2007
Bought in March
Only used for one month
Nothing has been washed (cover, straps, etc)
Never been in an accident
Like pulling it out of the box new (in flawless condition)
Comes with recline bar and manual. "

I'm a sucker for anything I think is a good deal, so I don't trust myself right now. Money is tight but we do currently have the funds. Is this a good deal? I would use it in my mom's car to replace the Cosco combo seat DD is in now. When she gets too big to RF I'd move it into our car as her main seat. I knew you guys would understand...what should I do? I suppose I could always offer less.

The only real question is can you trust that this person is telling the truth about not being in a crash?

Yes it's a good deal, and one I would snatch up from a trusted source if I had the money.

:yeahthat: If you don't know this person and can't trust them I personally would rather spend the extra $100 to *know* my childs seat is a safe seat.

I don't know what I would do but I came across this the other day. Dreamtime baby has the Regent and the $50 babytv rebate.

I think it's baby universe that has the rebate.
(unless Dreamtime baby has it also)

I have to admit that at that price I may consider it. But I would go inspect the seats it, talk to the owners, and get a feel for the situation first.

Both of them have the rebate. It seems that baby universe is OOS on the Regent's but Dreamtime baby has the Madison.

I found it

You're right!

I'm still debating on it. Thanks for all your input! I'm thinking it might be worth the extra hundred to get a brand new seat delivered to my door when I actually need it (and in the Madison print

) I ran a search and they've listed it 6 times since May 9th. They started out asking $245 for it, then $200, then $180. The story goes they bought two but didn't end up needing one of them. It looks brand new from the pictures...hmmm. I'd also have to drive at least 30 minutes to get it. That's still a lot of money for a spare seat. I might offer $150 cash and see if they'll go for it. They sound pretty knowledgable (at least they bought a Regent) but it'd be a big disappointment to drive out there and find out that they're shady!

dreamtime baby and baby universe are "sister" companies. I found this out when I ordered the regent through baby universe, got notification that it was out of stock until 9/07. I then cancelled the order, and ordered through dreamtime baby, which had it for 249.00, free shipping. Better price, and still can get the $50 rebate. At the time I ordered, it was to be in stock 6/15. Shortly after I ordered, it was out of stock til 9/07.
That's where I'm at now. Just hoping it comes in stock before then, I can't beat the price, but may need it before then if he has a growth spurt. I just can't put him in a madison. If I knew someone local who'd trade me a new cover in any other pattern, I could probably change my order to a madison, but as it is now, I'm just waiting. Plus, I think the madison was the usual price of 269.00
