If you found a Regent Shannon... what's your highest price you would pay?
What's the lowest you would expect to pay?

At this point in the game? I wouldn't. I LOVE that pattern but I wouldn't buy another Regent. BEFORE this mess? I would have paid $300 for the seat. As much as I adore that pattern, it IS just a pretty cover.

That being said, I WOULD buy a Shannon cover if it were available. I still have the one Regent and would LOVE to have a Shannon cover for it.

ETA: I would pay $120 max for the cover alone. I mean shipping and all- $120 max.

For the seat itself, or for just the cover?

Just the cover.

I say $100. I'd love to go higher, because I am IN LOVE with the Shannon cover, but realistically I don't think I can talk Mark into being okay with spending more than $100 for just a cover.

:yeahthat: It would be fun to have matching Shannon covers in my van, provided I can make the Regent work with whatever new installation instructions are deemed appropriate for a 40 + lb. child, sigh.

Yeah, the whole installation thing. Bah!
Lucky for me, I have peanut babies, so we still have a ways to go to hit 40 pounds for DD1, let alone the other two, who are even tinier peanuts.
So, I continue my search... :wink:

I'm going to plead the fifth on this one. We all know how much I did pay. I'm not saying what my high bid on that auction actually was!!

Please Roxie... tell us! Well, tell me. It might make me feel better. I have the opportunity to get one (after JUST buying a brand new Madison Regent, ha), and I don't know what number is justifiable.

I'd probably pay $300 if the seat was included. 150 for just the cover. How did you find one? Be careful you don't get scammed.

TOTAL luck! I came across one on my local craigslist. After exchanging a few emails, turns out this lady and her husband BOTH work/ed for Britax. Her husband still works there. She's selling like 5 different covers for different seats.
ETA: And see now I have a problem... I need to get my hands on a couple of Boulevard Shannon covers, lol. I think I'll put the Madison/Ashley/Olivia combo in DH's car, and the Shannons in mine? I don't know - decisions!!!

On a thought...

Is it okay to put a Boulevard cover on Marathon base? Aren't they the same frame?

LOL, that was quite a bit lower than my high bid, though. I really, really wanted that cover.
