TBH I wouldn't do it. I may ask her if she'd like to sell off a few of the items to me (after I've looked at them) but most things like the carseat, cotbed, etc. I would prefer to have new just for the safety issues. These things are five years old, have been in storage, and who knows what kind of shape they are in. Plus they come out with new safety features yearly on most things. Used is great if you can't afford new, but if you can get the new I say go for the new.

yes i agree, u can get new for that im sure if u go cheap and cheerful.

im sure the stuff are really nice seen a few pics and that but thats not the point if your paying over the odds.

Thanks

5 years old? I didn't see that bit, eww. Sorry not sure who said it (think it was Rachie) but they are probably not great having been just sitting around all that time? I wouldn't take it personally, especially not for that crazy price.

No me nither, get myself in some situation i tell ya lol,

decide i am going to say, that jamie said lol, his mum said over the weekend she is buying us a cot she has seen altho she isnt, and say that jamie said im been silly wanting all that cos half the things we do not need and the other half were just double up on to have spare at his, till we get a house together which by the time poppy has we might not need to any way.

But then thought well maybe it might be worth it my best mate at work has work with her for years and said they will be good stuff.

So I asked her to make me a list of what she had.

So here is the list:-

Mamas + Papas Cotbed
Bouncy Chiar
Highchair
Car seat
Stard for mosses/basket
Baby play mat
Cot mobile – discoloured slighty with the sun
Sterilizer
Bruin buggie
Box for nappies
Baby monitors – discoloured slighty with the sun
Baby bath, stand, seat and pot set
Changing mat
Play gym
Safety gate
Door bouncer
Vest and baby grows.

So thought great stuff yes im interested, then nearly passed out with the price she wanted for them. Dont get me wrong i didnt wanted the given and was perpared to pay a fair price, what she wants i could buy them new and choice exactly what i want and not make do.

So first question for you girls

What would you pay or sell for all the above bearing in mind they are used.

Any advise on getting me out of the S**t am in how do i tell her i dont want them, im not perpared to pay that price when i can get them new for that? i will feel so bad

i may not be able to get the same but looking at certain things ie hairchair if you were skint you can buy the new in argos for 27 quid that sort of thing. and they will be new!!!

just tell her straight u can get all that stuff in brill condition on freecycle from ppl who dont need it no more all u do is collect it some ppl on it are really posh so the stuff is amazing

Maybe pick one or two things you like from her list and say you have already/are being bought by parents/relatives.

Keeps both parties sweet.
