Okay, being forced to sell our beloved Blue Bouquet Regent (DOM: 11/2005). I have it on eBay but thought I'd put it on here as well. Yes, I'm asking a high price for it, but I'll see what happens.

It is BRAND NEW, never been used. The box is a little beat up; we'd been saving it for DD but need the money. So there ya go...

It's for auction, but there's a Buy-It-Now price for $250... .... FYI, we LOVE the Regent. DS has one - it really is an awesome seat. :thumbsup:

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our Regent, and paid $270 for a "baby" (it was only a week old) in May 2007. I wish I need another one, even if is the blue boquet cover! I just wonder if the price is too steep since it is already four years old

That's the "wishful" price... There's always the regular ol' auction.

Hmmm... what about coupling the Regent with the Wicket Loden and lowering the price...? I know that a small adjustment would need to be made for the tether slot. Anyone, anyone? Make me an offer.

I'm watching it, but like the PP said...that's a really steep price even for a pre-advisory Regent w/a girly cover...

And are you sure it won't cost more then $20 to ship it? I think you're gonna get screwed with shipping. Those things are huge and heavy. It cost me $30 to ship my Marathon..

Wow - it hit my reserve price. It's kinda bittersweet - if it didn't go for at least $150, then I was going to keep it...

As for shipping, I've shipped a Regent before and I believe it was in the ballpark of $20, and that was FedEx Ground (we have a FedEx acct and get a discount). Of course, it depends on where it's going.

Ok...so here is a kinda dumb question...I know car seats expire after 6 years...but since this in brand new in the box (never been exposed to the extreme hot/cold in a car) would it still expire in 2 years? I have often wondered this with older seats that are still in sealed boxes.

When you ship it, you'll have to let us know how much it cost. I was thinking it was around 50 to ship.

Yes it still expires even if it hasn't been used.

Well, technically, it expires in 11/2011, so that's... 2 yrs 8 months. And $250 is the "Buy It Now"...


So I'm just curious - who on here is bidding on it? I know one person b/c of the eBay ID (which I think are anonymized to everyone but the seller...?). You can PM me if you don't want to post it here.

I would totally have paid $250 if we didn't have a new baby on the way and a need to be a bit more frugal right now.

Something is worth however much someone is willing to pay for it

Okay, I shipped it via FedEx Ground (which I've often found to be cheaper than the USPS). It was $24.09, exactly. So I was out $4.09 for shipping, but that's fine...

However... I really did have second thoughts! I loved that Blue Bouquet seat. Oh well. DD will be fine in DS's Sahara. :thumbsup:

I hope whoever got it likes it, too.
