to expect my sister to give/lend me baby things rather than sell on ebay

[cheesestar]

She is not short of a few bob so that's not the issue, she just seems to like the ebay buzz! annoyed as i gave her loads of stuff when she had her first child. It's been quite a few years since i had my first child and i gave everything away in between babies (stupid i know). I would always check if friend or family member needed anything before i considered selling my stuff. She actually offered to sell me her cot for £50 and said i could sell it on afterwards, i told her i don't have any spare cash at the moment so she put it on ebay!

You can get cots for £45 in IKEA here.

I cannot abide tight, niggly people, even in one's own family.

Let her sell it on Ebay, it won't fetch much.

Yeah, she sounds a bit insesitive to say the least. Is it such a dog eat dog world that you expect your sister to BUY your used baby things . Esp when you GAVE her yours! Maybe you should ask her where your stuff is?

I don't think YABU. I've given my baby stuff away or loaned it out. My sils have had a fair bit and I'm keeping my bugaboo for my sister if she should ever need it. I couldn't live with myself if I asked any of my close relations for money for these things.
