I'm not sure if I'm being silly about this. WOuld love some opinions on this very trivial dilemma!

Want to get DD is a mini micro scooter. DS has the blue one, I don't want to get the pink one for DD as I don't really want the DCs thinking blue is for boys and pink is for girls, plus DD's coat is pure pink so would be far too much pinkness when she is scootering. I don't want to get another blue one either (i love DS's blue one, but I just don't want another one the same...I know I know I'm so over thinking this). Don't like the neon multicoloured ones either.

So on Ebay there is a green mini micro which is gorgeous, used but in VGC. Seller willing to sell it to me for £55 including P&P, which is more than the price of getting either a blue one for a pink one brand new.

Am I mad to conside buying this second hand one for more than I have to pay for a new one??

bought one for my dds 3rd birthday. big (adult) cousins stood on it and broke it. i think they have a limit of about 7 stone.

i'm afraid i took it back to John Lewis and they replaced it immediately. not my finest hour but it was £50 quid.

don't buy second hand what you can get new.
