Have you ever sold on Craigslist?

[marchofemily]

I'm working on a sale right now! I'm also going to be posting some more things on there in the morn'! I hate it when I see a Britax seat, for like $150, and want it sooooo bad, but won't because of not knowing the history! Tears me up! LOL! I love CL! I've found daycare kiddos on there, got a Nanny position last summer, and have bought many wonderful things! Of course, it's all baby stuff for my daycare! Oh, I found a Mac Twin Traveller on there last December for $!25!!! I LOVE that thing!!!

It is great for selling stuff without putting in a lot of work. I sold my AOE on it, my booster, and am in the process of meeting a guy monday to sell my old recaro booster someone gave me(its from 2000 and I dont liek the no headwing issue), and also some clothes, shoes, baby gates, ect.
I just meet the people somewhere and don't have them come to my house or go to theirs either. Good luck and happy selling!

GUESS WHAT

I sold my first item!!!!! Yeah, I am so excited. It was so easy too.
I sold my mountain bike (haven't riden in 2 years, didn't really ride much b/f that either ).

A sweet girl from VT bought it, she said she just really wanted to get out and enjoy, in light of all that had happened in the past week.

Question:question:

What is the common consensus about selling used car seats? I have my daughter's travel system & I would love to sell it, so I could put the $ toward buying a new stroller.

First, it is a Dorel Eddie Bauer system. Car seat's DOM I think is 12/05 or 1/06 (don't know off top of my head) & we have two bases for the car seat.
My problem with the carseat...... the material (foam) that is under the seat cover is discolored/stained. Granted the seat cover goes over it, so it isn't seen, but..... I don't know if I would be comfortable selling it because of that.

I have used the stroller alot, so I wouldn't ask for much if I sold the system. I was thinking, if is is even worth selling, $50ish for all.

What do you think? If you think yes, how much?

Thanks for the advice in advance

I would sell it.

Just be honest about the staining on the material underneath the cover. Most people don't mind as long as they know about it.

Write a detailed description, including that the seat has never been in an accident.

How much did you pay for the system? $50 seems REALLY cheap, but it is up to you, of course.

I was a gift, I think my in-laws said they paid $250 for it & then I paid around $40 or so for the extra base.

I would ask more, but I honestly don't know what is a fair price since it is sooo used

I see lots of travel systems in the $50-80 range on our local CL

I've sold quite a few things and bought quite a few things as well...LOVE not having to pay eBay's ridiculous fees!!!

I sold my 2 year old Graco Snugride for $55.

You can sell the base alone for probably $15-$20.

Interesting to have recommendations to sell carseats here when we recommend people NOT buy car seats off of craig's list, etc.
(and no, I would not take the word of an anonymous ad that a carseat had not been in an accident. I don't know the person behind it to know if their word is worth anything.)

However, I do haunt Craig's List and have bought baby stuff there that does NOT fall into crib/car seat categories. I much prefer Craig's List to ebay because I've had bad experiences with Ebay, whereas through Craig's list it is a simple exchange of goods. My cash for your item. Every item I've ever bought I've gone to the people's house. But I can understand the caution in wanting to meet elsewhere as well.
