Kids Consignment Sales

[quesyrah]

I buy some toys and games used. Occasionally clothes at an upscale consignment shop. I have bought used diapers but from a friend who I trust took care of them properly.

I will only buy shoes, underwear, car seats, cribs new.

I like all of the used things. Clothes, toys...but I would probably stay away from a body pillow. Not only for the oak of bedbugs but someone else would have flattened it out.I actually got one on eBay in new packaging for like half off. I would check there to save some.

I've bought clothes, books, toys, mostly. I would buy things like a bouncy seat, bumbo, stroller, carrier, etc. if they were in excellent condition.

No to mattresses, cribs, carseats. Shoes I'd buy if they had tags or had zero wear.

Can those pillows be washed?

I don't know. I think I'd have to buy new for that.

I buy cloth diapers, clothes, some furniture used.

I won't buy used carseats or helmets for safety reasons. I don't buy used shoes for my kids unless it's the heavy duty snow boots that are worn infrequently or if they still have tags.

Depending on the condition, I might buy the pillow. Is it washable?

[quesyrah]

Huh, I guess I missed the part of the OP about the pillow.

I wouldn't buy that used.

I have a pretty decent size washing machine, but I think the pillow wouldn't fit. It's massive.

I have the one you're describing and 0% chance it fitting in even the largest washer. That thing took up like over half my king sized bed.

Honestly, I just got by with a cheapo body pillow from target. But I have heard great things about the others.

Also, I like consignment sales far more than consignment stores.

I would definitely not buy that pillow or any other type of pillow/bedding for fear of bedbugs plus just the ick factor of what body fluids it could potentially have been exposed to.

I would not buy shoes.

I would not buy a carseat or booster.

I would not buy baby bottles/nipples or breastfeeding supplies.

Anything else that comes to mind would be fair game!

I dunno, I sold my pregnancy pillow because I tried a few times and hated it, so someone got a great deal on an almost-new pillow with a custom case that I sewed for it. If it was in good condition I would consider it.

There's not much I would buy used. DS has some hand me down clothes and toys but I know where they came from. I would buy used toys if they can be cleaned. I would never by used undergarments, pillows, nursing gear or parts, shoes.

I'll buy almost anything used. I don't have issues with it. I was about to say all new undies and swimsuits but I've accepted my friends used toddler undies, so that's not a firm rile. I probably wouldn't buy the used from a stranger.

Oh, potty chairs. That grosses me out even more than undies.

I also buy almost anything used. I'd say if the pillow can be completely washed or you can buy a new cover for it, I'd go for it. But then again, I was at my bff's the other day and her pregnancy pillow was on her 3 year old's bed and she commented that he 'claimed' it a while ago, and I asked her why she didn't sell it, and she was like, oh, he's peed and puked on it and everything, it's washed but still, I'd feel bad selling it. So yeah, maybe not?
