NBD: Combi Zeus 360 for $195.99

New, Damaged Box

Yup. I have it in my cart. I'll release it if anybody wants it. Or even if they don't, but I thought I'd hang on to it for a bit first.

I was thinking about buying it for resale, but I don't think the profit margin is going to be enough to be worth the up front cost. Shipping is $27 so although it's still a great deal if you want one, I'm not quite convinced it's cheap enough if you don't need one. I'd totally snap it up if I had a 2-door car I needed it for, though.

I bought one for $150 to play with and then resell. I didn't make any money off of reselling it. It is a limited appeal kind of car seat. I'd only buy this one if you actually need it.

Send me a PM if you want me to release it to you.

So, can someone explain to me why people put the item in their cart, just for the sake of holding it from others?

 

[Brigala]

Actually, I put it in my cart to think about buying it myself. Did a little market research, talked to the lady at the consignment shop where I often sell car seats, and then decided I wasn't going to keep it.

So I figured I'd be nice and hold on to it for someone here in case someone was stalking it.

I guess I don't understand why holding it would help someone. What are the chances someone would see this thread? If you don't want it, I would just let someone else buy it. :twocents:

 

[Brigala]

I don't know about this particular seat since it's such a niche seat, but I've been helped by others who have come to this thread and held on to something for me. I bought a Coccoro that way thanks to the help from another CSO member that came here and posted it, and let it go when I could grab it. Just trying to return the favor.

If Stacy decides she wants it, she'll probably be glad it's there. If not, I'll take it out of my cart and let someone else buy it.

 

[Brigala]

Judging from the other thread, it looks like Stacy doesn't want it so I just took it out of my cart.

 

[lovemybabies924]

It's been in my cart since this morning, I don't think "holding" it works anymore?

[Brigala]

Weird! It stayed in my cart and showed unavailable until I released it, and now I can take it in and out of my cart at will. Or could, a little bit ago. Haven't tried in the last half hour or more.

 

[Bansheefaerie]

I wish we already had the money from the car insurance. I would buy it!

 

[Bansheefaerie]

I'm going to stalk it and find a way to buy it. Insurance is giving us a check for $213 to replace our TF that was in my mom's car during an accident.

 

[Bansheefaerie]

Purchased it!

 

[Brigala]

Yay! You'll have to come back here and let us know how it goes.

The nice thing about the price is I think one might be able to recoup the cost if it turns out it isn't the right seat for the job.

 

[Bansheefaerie]

I wonder which color it is. It didn't say. We are planning on buying a van in Feb-March. I hope it works out. If it does then I'll probably sell my CowMoo Chaperone.

If it's any consolation, I love my Combi Zeus car seats. I have 2 for each of my youngest DS. It is definitely a back saver and since I am preggers again, I KNOW I will love them. It saves your body from having to contort and twist to load your little ones. I purchased mine after buying the orbit system and loving it. I knew that they would outgrow the orbit car seat and I loved the concept. I was ecstatic when I found the Zeus and have not regretted the purchases at all. Since I have to look for a stationary to place in between the zeus' I am now looking at the CCO.

 

[Bansheefaerie]

Do they stick out far when rear facing? I'm wondering if it fits in cars with limited leg room.

 

[Brigala]

I think it does stick out quite a lot, but it's so high up on a pedestal that in most cars it should install nicely in the center and clear the front seats at the top.

I looked up the SKU when I was trying to decide whether to buy it, and it came up as Chestnut.
