advice on starting price for used re-usable cotton nappies

[lindseyfox]

I have 15 size 1 little lamb nappies they are made of terry towelling, used and although have been washed have been stored and will need a good wash, 3 are slightly discoloured. few thread pulls but this happens with terry towelling, They smell fresh as if just out of wash. brand new retail at £8.99 each although seller on ebay sells new for £4.99 each.

plus have 3 pairs of the plastic pants

so was thinking as used and need a good boil wash - would think any new parent would want to wash them anyway regardless of if i do beforehand.

99p start no reserve with a buy it now of £15. I need to weigh them for postage but will be around £5-£7 i would have thought.

lindsey, can you sell washables on ebay? They did prohibit it previously.

you can't sell used nappies on ebay.
you can't have a reserve less than £50 if i remember right.

hope jes's link helps

thanks didnt know that about the nappies is there a reason as people are selling the new one on there so is it just used ones that cant be sold?

You can't sell them on e-bay but people do.

Have seen them listed before where people have listed them as new and then they say that they are not new but they have had to list them as new to be able to sell them. If you list them as one lot they should sell for quite a bit.

It's just the used ones -- they have decided they are "not hygienic", IIRC. US eBay originally banned them at the same time, but backed down after a storm of protest. UK eBay are sticking to their guns, though.

may try selling on netmums classifieds board what should i ask for them is £20 to much?
