I think I'm going to list a seat on Craigslist and actually try to sell it. I'm torn b/c I want to keep it, but I don't *need* it and I do need extra cash this summer, but I like having a 4th harnessed seat in my car for car-pooling etc...

Thanks for the help! Oh and if I'm not suppossed to post about selling stuff, I'm so sorry and feel free to remove or tell me and I will edit it! :D

(Julie here... see the post below for the carseat selling formula :))

Re: Frontier Pricing on CL

The 'formula' for figuring out what a seat should sell for is the original price you paid new (or is a reasonable selling price for it now), divided by the number of years it's good for, and then subtract the fraction of use. So a 270$ seat would be 30 dollars per year (assuming 9 years before it expires), one year old, 240. Of course that depends on condition...but you get the basic idea :thumbsup:


And yeah, I'm editing your original post with the seat you're asking about, but you can join up as a supporter and do a 'price check' in the swap forum :)

Note, this is not necessarily the price you paid for the seat, but the price the seat can be purchased for currently. If a seat can regularly be purchased new for $199, its going to be very difficult to sell it used for $218, etc.
