AIBU?

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?

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? Grin

Sorry - baby! Normally prams sell for about 1/3 of retail (inc accessories), sometimes a bit more for an in demand one or quite a bit less sometimes if its a basic/non branded

I had a mothercare double, one in front of the other. It was built like a freaking tank and I had biceps like Schwarzenegger. Around a hundred pounds in 2003. Bargain. A wheel fell off two years later and Dh turned it in to a gokart.

barred- if you can so comfortably afford a buggy costing as much as P&T double (with extras!) Why on earth would you not give it away to someone who really needs a double and could not afford one of any label?

And look up the word declasse.

I actually think £500 is a perfectly reasonable price to pay for something you will probably use every single day for the next three (or more) years.

Guess I'm a twat too.

Phil and teds is the only double worth buying and that's a great price if it's in good nick.
good luck

I bought my Silvercross Sleepover with loads of extras, worth about £700, off eBay for £100. As new condition.

I then sold it on a local Facebook site a year later for £180 after a bit of a bidding war erupted.

I therefore declare that if you cant get more than you paid for it, then you are a twat. Grin Grin

paradise- it's not communism, it's thinking of those less fortunate than oneself. I have given away cars that are being replaced, just as I was given my first car by a friend that was upgrading.

Houses- well, I don't know many people that have bought their homes outright, and then no longer needed it, and so could pass it on. It is known though- people die and leave their estate to charity, or to friends and family. Most people have to buy with a mortgage, and as there is a cost for that they reasonably expect to have money from the sale to mitigate that cost.

How dare you profit jambalaya! You should have donated it to your local donkey sanctuary and flogged yourself all the way home.

LOL at donkey sanctuary. Grin

OP could you reply "Oh really where did you buy it new at that price so i can check it out?"

You could defo buy Bugaboo Frogs in 2004 as my friend bought one for her eldest. I think she paid about £500 and of course the donkey sanctuary benefited from it afterwards. Grin

The jealousy on this site is shocking. If you can't afford a £500 buggy then why not just reconcile yourself with your situation and instead be happy for the lucky and no doubt nice people who can. Bile and envy are ugly traits.

you can deduce a lot about a person from the buggy they choose.

Paradise- yes, of course some people need cash, but the OP was very quick to crow about how easily she could afford it. That does not suggest she is such a person.

Do you judge engagement rings etc too? Must come from Ratners else the wearer is a twat? Confused

I'll be selling my p&t soon. Comes with cocoon thingy, 2 matching bag things, sleeping bag even the sodding coffee cup holder. I'd be having a fucking laugh if I thought I'd get anywhere near 275 for it.
