Just spent £50 on a Next to me crib which should’ve been £200 full price. The pictures the person sold it with are not pictures of the one she has, or maybe they were when it was brand new. They gave us it in the bag so we carried it to the car trusting it was like the pictures, because it was throwing it down with rain. It’s covered in horrible stains, with orangey brown stains on the lining under the mattress so it’s not even as if a new mattress would do the job (which we were going to buy anyway). There’s two pieces of dirty clearly used! cotton wool under the mattress and loads of pet hair on the whole thing. I have thrown better condition items away myself - why on earth would anyone sell it for such a cost?!!
We’ve completely wasted £50 and I feel so silly when my aim was to try and save money and the environment by purchasing pre loved.
DH thinks we ought to resell it at something like £30 and be clear the condition is used/fair. I just feel so annoyed with myself and don’t know what else I can do.
