Have you scored any good deals on craigslist, or at resale shops, or garage sales lately? We just picked up this yard toy/climber for E for $40, nearly brand new on craigslist. It's $100-$130 new, he's going to love it so much!

It wasn't recently, it was about three years ago. But, we got an Eddie Bauer all wooden high chair for $15. It had a few dings on i, but who cares. Now, it has been through two children and we are expecting our third. I think we got our $15 worth!

I am trying to sell a barely used PNP on CL right now! But people are ridiculous and want to pay like $10 for it. Sorry, no. Gah.
Side note: someone was trying to sell her toddlers (used) undies! Ack!
-
I buy so much off local FB resale groups!
I got a mint condition cozy coupe for $15, swing & lawn mower for $10 and clothes for like $2 each!
-
@Mrs. Yoyo: Grosss.... I hate CL, I feel like everyone tries to nickle and dime you. I was selling tickets and I put how much I was going to sell them for and people would send me an email asking for a ridiculously lower price. Come on people... When I list a price, I'm not saying it's negotiable.

@locavore_mama: I buy off FB resale... I saw a cozy coupe but DH insisted LOs first car had to be "new." I wonder if this will still be the case when B gets his drivers license.
-
@kiddosc: I've seen that before! Great deal!
-
@littlek: bahaha good retaliation!
-
@Mrs. Yoyo: Forealz, I have a NWT Britax Chaperone base on there for $35..a lady e-mailed me and asked if she could just have it because she noticed it's been on CL a long time. Like.. what. No.
DH and I get a lot of wood furniture off CL. We got a kitchen table & chairs off there that had nasty stained fabric on the chair bottoms, so I bought it for $45, went home and ripped off all of the fabric, put it back on there as a great DIY project and sold it for $125 in the same day..didn't even have to re fabric the chairs
-
@MrsTiz: That was sneaky genius!
-
@littlek: I'll go a little lower, but considering its already 60 percent off and in perfect condition, "little" is key! It boggles my mind because there are other people trying to get close to retail for much older, more basic ones!
I've had decent luck selling some furniture lately, though. Except for the person who thought she could fit a giant leather club chair in the trunk of her Camry (eye roll).
-
@Mrs. Yoyo: hmmm. How much are you wanting to sell it for?
-
@MrsTiz: I get the "helping a friend who lost her job" thing a lot. Which is sad if true, but I would rather donate to a reputable charity before essentially giving things away to strangers.
-
Nice deal!!!
I recently picked up some clothes from a CL type site on Facebook. I got 28 pieces of clothing for $30. All were good brands, one was a Hannah Andersson Christmas dress.
-
@NaturallyCathy: haha do you actually need one??? I was trying to get 40-45 but of course you can have an HB discount. Can't ship the thing, though, it's heavy! And cost of gas would prob make it impractical! Have you checked Nashville CL? Ours had tons last time I looked.
-
@Mrs. Yoyo: I have two very little ones. Of course I need one! We're headed to Crossville this weekend. Maybe I could pop by?
-
Great deal!
I recently bought a zany zoo for $30!
-
@MamaBehr: you definitely got your $15 worth!
@Mrs. Yoyo: used undies? Gross! I hate selling things on CL, but I like the deals I can find.
@littlek: I feel like I need to ask for more than I want whenever I list something, because people are always going to ask for a lower price!
@locavore_mama: I've never seen a FB resale group, I must find one!
-
Just bought a FP walker on my local moms FB resale group! Perfect condition for $7 instead of $25 on amazon makes me
-
I got a brand new deluxe Snugabunny Rock n Play for $20 off our local FB resale group. The seller said her baby didn't like it. Win!
-
I like the Facebook moms group! I got a snap n go for $20 when I was pregnant, a bumbo for $5 (that once it was recalled, BRU gave me $45 for..WIN), a rock n play for $20 (I ended up contacting FP because of mold and they sent a brand new one).
I got a zany zoo last week in perfect condition for $15!
