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?

[NotYouNaanBread]

I love my P&T - got it practically unused from a friend in return for £150 worth of stock from my shop too.

Didn't know about them when I had dd1 & got my Frog on eBay for £140 when they were all at least £200 - £250. Daft seller lived in the arse end of nowhere & said "collection only" so nobody bid but happily posted when I asked.

Won't get much for either now - I've used them hard - bumpy/muddy Thames Path etc.

Business idea: intensive fancy-pram cleaning service before resale. :)

[BarredfromhavingStella]

Sorry but I have not sneered at all, you have simply presumed things about me from the pram I own which is clearly your problem not mine-maybe people did the same thing to you when you had the Bugaboo all those years ago...

Yes OP, you're lovely.

[BarredfromhavingStella]

Actually yeah I am but as you don't actually know me i'll forgive you for thinking otherwise-I also have a wicked sense of humour, maybe you should try to find yours.

I sold my iCandy last year after hanging onto it for years out of love it had only been used for a few months and the hardbodied pram part was brand new and still in the box.

I advertised it online, one woman asked if I'd deliver it, and was very insistent that she wanted it.
When I got there she was rude and said "for this price I expected it to look new, but look at the state of it"
Other than a bit of dust and creases from it being folded up it was perfect.

I had already advertised it for less than they were selling on eBay as I wanted a quick sale. But she offered me £100, and then said she wasn't sure it was worth that, "given its condition", and suggested I offer a lowed asking price. in the end I told her I would rather keep it, and she called me a time wasted, after I'd driven 40 miles to deliver it.

Some people really do expect something for nothing.

[MrsLouisTheroux]

Strange thing MN. We know is what is said on a thread but not the actual person I'm sure you're hilarious but it just hasn't come across on here which is a shame.

[BarredfromhavingStella]

Yep this is true, you have come across as quite bitter to the fact that some people are happy to pay a fair bit for a quality product but there you go. You'll note I haven't made any presumption on the sort of person you really are though

[Moominsarescary]

Kiddicare have them for just under £360

[MrsLouisTheroux]

Barred bit of a contradiction that last post.

[RatPants]

Those things are insane - one child looks like it has been stuffed underneath the original buggy!

I have no idea about prices - both my prams are too knackered for me to sell after years of abuse but if something is in really good condition I'd imagine people would pay up to about half the original cost with the accessories thrown in? Although people will always try to knock you down, it's the nature of second hand sale really.

[Ashoething]

do people really think spending loads on a buggy says somwthing about their status? pram snobbery is akin to the boden love in on mn.middle class pretension gone mental.boden is minging!

[BarredfromhavingStella]

Not really Theroux , I said you'd come across as

Just been on Kiddicare & the only Vibe I can find comes with the peanut & is £597?

[BarredfromhavingStella]

I bought it as I liked the look, durability & the fact it was tandem not side by side-nothing to do with the brand. I don't buy anything because it's branded, simply because I like it.

[Twitterqueen]

AIBU to be disappointed that this thread is apparently about a double pram when I only clicked on it because I thought it was about vibrators and sex?

[MrsLouisTheroux]

But who gives a * is my point. You keep harping on about how much you bought yours for & how much they are two years ago when you bought yours. Your FB friend bought hers cheaper and thinks your second hand one is overpriced. Sorry about that.

[MrsLouisTheroux]

are were

[BarredfromhavingStella]

Yes lockets, perhaps it's because there isn't much of an item description or when it's ending?

The two I've watched this week have gone for the price I want for mine, it's in excellent condition & I'll wait until I get the amount I'm wanting.

2nd hand ones are not what I'd posted about anyway, it was stating a new one had been bought for this price.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I sold my vibe about a year ago for nearly £300 on ebay.

It cost me twice that new and I loathed it

Good luck with getting a decent price.

Oh and I'd initially given it away to someone I thought needed it but I asked for it back when I found out she just wanted to sell it. Am sure some people will think I should have let her but I asked for it back as it wasn't quite in the spirit of what I'd intended.

[Wibblypiglikesbananas]

Gosh op, you have got a total and utter pasting here. I feel for you as anyone who knows about buying prams these days knows how much the branded makes can retail for. I think the price you're asking is absolutely fair given the retail price and the fact that you're offering extras.

I think you've fallen victim to the usual MN jealousy and 'you were stupid to spend so much' brigade. It seems like this kind of thing sadly brings out the worst in posters - not sure whether that's envy or incredulity that it is possible to spend so much. Who knows? If it's any consolation, I posted under a different name last year about another brand of pram I'd had problems with, broken wheels, crap customer service and all I got was sarcastic comments about how I shouldn't have spent so much in the first place... Lovely. I'd like to bet if we were talking about something of the same value that wasn't a pram, eg a bike, you wouldn't have had half the vitriolic comment that have appeared here.

Good luck with the sale!
