Considering selling my Quinny- hoping for advice

I have a well used Quinny Buzz. It has footmuff, basket and bag thing that clips on the back.

The condition is OK- just wear and tear really. The front wheel does stick a bit though- as tends to be the case with these I think.

I think the whole thing set me back about £500.00 (have car seat, base and adaptors too but realise that people dont buy these second hand).

I don't need it any more and will not be having any more DCs.

I would be really grateful of any advice on wether I could sell it and if so where. I have sold plenty of stuff on ebay but am not really sure that this is good enough. Maybe I should just give it to a charity shop- money is tight though so don't want to miss the chance of recouping some of the money I spent on it.

spray the front wheel with mr sheen!it will solve the problem of it sticking,

people do buy carseats second hand so long as they havent been in an accident, personally i would ebay it,just show any damage to it,
i just sold my buzz,the chassis,seatunit,shopping basket and buzz box for £120,
i would sell the carseat and base on one auction and the pushchair on another,
ebay are doing free listings today and tomorrow!!

I had a Buzz in similar condition. I sold all the parts seperately on eBay for about £150.

Listed everything seperately - every wheel, carry cot, pushchair seat, rain cover, buzz box, shopping basket etc.

Didn't sell the car seat or Isofix base. Not that they didn't sell, I wanted to keep them!
I gave away the chasis on Freecycle as it was knackered, loose, rattley etc.

I offered postage - Parcelforce will take parcels that big from most POs - which widens your potential buyers huegely.

In the end I sold all bits to just 3 buyers, and the person who bought the seat unit met me at a motorway services about 45 mins away from each of our homes. I posted the Dreami carrycot with Parcelforce, and all the other smaller bits in ordinary post.
