To think that if you honestly think you bought a brand new Phil & Ted's Vibe WITH doubles kit for £275 then you are a twat?

[BarredfromhavingStella]

Just that really, have put my lovely P&T Vibe on FB for sale (yes I know FB is shit which is why I do not have a profile & it's posted on DH page) & have had comments saying 'I'm sure I bought mine new for that price"

Of course you didn't you fuckwit, a simple google would tell you that!!!
DH refuses to put this reply much to my irritation-do you see why I don't have a FB page?

[MrsLouisTheroux]

Why does anyone buy above base model? Because they can, because they want to!
Paradise Nothing wrong with spending ££ on a buggy but not everyone is desperate to invest in 'Pat and Tim's' marketing strategy. Shifting it at as small a loss as possible afterwards isn't always going to be plain sailing.

[ParadiseChick]

Mrslouis, you appear on other threads as quite well balanced, reasonable and normal. Here you seem quite deranged over the issue of a buggy you've neither had nor have the news for.

I'd recommend stepping away, a chamomile tea and perhaps a lie down?

Not defensive about the pram at all, have used it for almost 2 years so I'm happy that i've had really good use out of it, it looks almost as good now as it did new, hardly any wear at all so again happy with the investment I made. As has been said, I chose & could afford the pram, if you wouldn't or couldn't then that's fine (& I've not said anyone is a twat for that incidentally)

They are selling for what i'm asking & i'm in a position to hold out for the price I want, which I'll do.

[MrsLouisTheroux]

@ paradise Are you feeling defensive too?

[SolomanDaisy]

Ah, MN at its worst. A load of irrelevant comments on people buying different things to you, based on total lack of knowledge about usual resale prices for buggies. Lots of people pay what the OP did and lots of people pay what she's asking for second hand. So what? Leave her alone.

[ParadiseChick]

I think that's fair enough barred, you aren't in desperate need for the space so why not?

Incidentally these fb selling pages are frequented by illiterate hun using twats, I'd try gum tree or even your local paper.

[WileyRoadRunner]

YANBU but a quick look on eBay seems to suggest they are selling for approx £200.

However, the price of these things always depends where you are in the country. For some reason, I'm in the SE, very thing that is pick up only always seems to cost a fortune in comparison to things up in Manchester!

Unfortunately you will just have to ignore the comments from people who obviously don't even want to buy it if they have the same pram already!!!!

[ParadiseChick]

Defensive? Over what?

[MrsLouisTheroux]

Barred please just sell it then! Someone will buy it. But when someone disagrees with your price, really, it doesn't make them a twat.

[OHforDUCKScake]

£275 for a second hand buggy?

Arf. I second the sarcastic reply of the fb person.

Good luck with that.

[OnwardBound]

This thread is one of the funniest I've read in a while.

Buggygate - Keep it coming ladies!

[BarredfromhavingStella]

For the last time-disagreeing is fine, couldn't care less. The twat comment was from someone who said they thought they had paid that new-you just wouldn't get the pram, doubles kit, both sets of raincovers & tray for £275, the pram alone is approx £560...

[pigletmania]

Phil and teds are expensive and generally people know that they just trying it on. Sell on e bay, they really retain their value

[Theicingontop]

It's two years old?!

[ParadiseChick]

Someone commenting on the post selling the pram saying that they paid that for one new when they clearly didn't is being a twat. That's what the op said.

She wasn't moaning about it not selling.

[MrsLouisTheroux]

OP. Maybe they did. With bright green lurex, giraffe print seat covers with pink spots. You never know. YABU.

[MrsLouisTheroux]

In the sale obviously. Dodgy 'designs' get dramatically reduced.

[Waspie]

I sold my son's Quinny Buzz with all the trimmings second hand on Gumtree for £300. If it's in good condition and you want a particular buggy and you can get it half price second hand, why wouldn't you buy second hand? I don't see why Barred's P&T won't sell for a good price.

[ParadiseChick]

If you arf (whatever that is) at under £300 for a second hand buggy your obviously not the type of person who would spend £600 on a new one, therefore not even in the relevant market.

Expensive buggies sell for more second hand some cheap ones new.

[SamuelWestsMistress]

I'm sorry Booyhoo but when I bought mine there simply was nothing else like it dimensionally or practically on the market at all. Perhaps now there is, but it paid for itself many times over. I live in the country too so also needed so something with pneumatic tyres that can be dragged over fields and through pot holes! Couldn't have cared less about the make. Admittedly they're far more popular now than they were 7 years ago.

[HarrySnotter]

We were given the same pram as the OP by very generous in laws (they chose it, not us) and I didn't really rate it anyway. Didn't like that DD was so close to the ground, not helped by the fact that a bloody great dog lifted it's leg and pissed on her as I was standing talking to my friend. IMO the whole P & T thing is pram snobbery but good luck to the OP getting what she wants for it. We gave ours to a friend (cleaned up of course! ).

[MrsLouisTheroux]

My MIL bought me the first bugaboo frog in 2003. It's in the garage. I'm sitting on a gold mine aren't I?

[ParadiseChick]

I didn't even realise you got bugaboos in 2003.

I paid the best part of £600 for my frog in 2005. 6 years and 2 babies later it sold for £250
