So with the new baby coming, I was looking at ebay to buy some clothes for her. Might as well buy used to save some money and they are in & out of them so quickly, why pay full price? Well, according to a lot of the sellers, why not pay more than retail? Seriously, $12.49 with free shipping for one Carter's sleep n play? Now, it may be NWT, but I can haul my cookies over to 1 of 3 Carter's retail stores within driving limits to get a brand new one, that I could return if I wanted to and pay $8.00 for it plus tax (making it around $9.00). And then, if I buy $40 worth of stuff, I can use my 20% or 25% off coupon...so I could get 5 new sleep n plays for $30-$32 plus tax new from the store, or I could get 3ish from ebay that says "NWT" but who knows if this household has a smoker etc. Not to mention, I could head to BRU, JCP, Target, Walmart, the Carters website etc and get them there too for less than ebay. I think that the sellers are delusional on ebay to expect to get that much money for them...or maybe it is the buyers that are delusional or just lack the ability to do research before they buy it off ebay.
In the end, I really don't think I should be paying much more than half for something used, and I will just avoid any post that says "NWT"...they can keep those baby clothes:P
