DS potty trained- what to do with all the washables? (bit long)

2cats2many · 2011-05-14T18:40:46+00:00

So, DS is potty trained and dry through the night ( >). I have probably around 30 Babybeehinds plus quite a few wraps in different sizes, nappy bucket, a couple of large storage bags and 4 smaller out and about storage bags, plus a couple of rolls of liners. basically, there is everything there someone would need to get started. Some of the nappies are in better nick than others. What do you think I should do? eBay everything as a job lot? If so, how much should I ask for it? Is £150 reasonable? Or should I sell everything in batches of twos or threes? I don't really want to have loads of hassle in selling them on, but at the same time, it would be nice to get something for them. In people's experience, is eBay the best place or should I sell them somewhere else?

I use Bum Genius and have chased a few on ebay, they always go. I'd try and sell them as a starter pack but you might have to split them, never used Babybeehinds but 30 sounds a lot? Could you sell as 2 starter packs? I've survived on 11 Bum Genius and 2 Fuzzi Bunz for 15 months (he is growing out of the sized FuzziBunz now so I'll be down to 11 soon!)

Sorry didn't answer about the price - £150 for 30 used washable nappies? Don't know how much Babybeehinds are new but Bum Genius about £13-15 each and go on ebay for £9-10 new - less for used. I'd be happy to pay £5 each for a used Bum Genius but don't know the quality of your brand, sounds reasonable if they are good/ well known. I'd probably want them for less if I was buying 30 though!

You cant officially sell used nappies on ebay. Something to do with ebay's policy on used underwear sales

You can try, but if they get reported or they find them then they cancel the auction. Try www.usednappies.co.uk or one of the forums with a sales bit.

You could try selling them all as one lot, but will probably have more luck in smaller sets. Like PP said, 30 is a lot. A lot who buy pre-loved do it to try new styles or to top up on what they have. You never know though. G'luck.

Thanks guys. I have 30, because at one point I had both DD and DS in nappies. Mind you, by the time I weed out the ones that are quite worn, it might be more like 20- 25.

Thanks for the link to the used nappies website. I'll definitely post on there.

Cheers.

Cloth Nappy Tree is v fast moving. I agree you will need to split it down into 2-3 lots.

If you really want to get rid of it all in one go then try gumtree or preloved. They work on a local basis so you might get someone who would collect from your area, thus avoiding postage costs, which would probably put a lot of people off. Agree that unless they're a really premium brand then £150 is a lot of money however good they are so split them down into groups.
