Alternatives to ebay?

I bought an Emmaljunga double buggy from ebay a few months ago and it's just too big to fit through my front door. I paid under £60 for it but I ended up paying £40 p&p because of the way it was packed by the seller. I was more than happy with this because I really wanted the buggy and felt it was worth it because it would have cost over £600 new and is in excellent condition.

I have now decided that I have to go with practicality over comfort and looks and I really should get rid of it but they just aren't selling for much on ebay. Does anyone have an alternative for me? I'm going to put an advert in the Post office next week but could do with some other suggestions too.

Was it a Cerox? My mum has a twin one of those and she couldnt fit iut through her door just folded it outside.

I have to say if you walk alot I'd keep it if not get rid LOL.

I think it's the city. The seat unit has to come off to fold it up. I don't drive so walk everywhere but only use a buggy when CMing. I live on a main road and my front door opens onto the pavement so getting it set up and then loading 2 small children into it safely takes quite a bit of careful planning!! Also, when it's raining it's an even harder task to get the children and pram in and out of the house!!

It is a beautiful pram and I'd rather keep it than let it go for £50 but it seems a waste to have it sitting on my living room floor (taking up space!). Maybe I'll put it away in until the Summer and have seasonal buggys!

Have just thought of my other issue with it. The 2 mindees I have will only sleep in the buggy so I take them out, they both fall asleep then I'm stuck because I can't get back into my house until they've woken up!! This wouldn't be a problem in the Summertime because I could go and sit in the park and read a book but at the moment it always seems to be raining just as they fall asleep!!

I'll have a look on Gumtree, thanks.
