Advice Needed - What is a reasonable price for this?

Long story short - DH and I are moving back to Canada in 2 months (eek!) and we are no longer going to take a shipment. So unfortunately, my beloved terry nappies are going to have to go.

Can any of you tell me what a reasonable sale price would be for the following?

17 Motherease One Size (white cotton) nappies like these
17 Motherease snap-in liners (white) like these
8 Totsbots wraps (2x size 0, 3x size 1, 3x size 2) like these
4 Motherease Rikki Velcro wraps size large (various patterns) like these
3 Motherease Airflow Popper wraps size medium (various patterns) like these
1 White drawstring wetbag (16" x 3") similar to this
1 Mothercare Nappy pail like this except mine is completely white.

I've done the math and to buy all of this new would cost £315.83 .

Do people actually buy used nappies or is that a little ? If so, what sort of price is reasonable for EVERYTHING? Because we are running out of time, I would prefer to sell the entire box. And do you think they would sell better on MN or on Ebay??

Thanks for your help.

Just to clarify - I'm not offering them for sale here - I'm simply asking for some guidance as to price. If any of you think they will sell, I will then list them on the For Sale board.

Don't want to break any rules....

depends on what kind of condition they're in really. you can't sell used nappies on ebay, so the for sale board on here might be your best option (there's also gumtree, the usednappies website, and the for sale boards on naturalmamas amongst others)

i'm sure others will have better pricing advice, but assuming they're in good condition i would probably price them like this:

motherease 1 size - £4
me snap in liner - 75p (or nappy + liner for £4.50)
totsbots wraps - £4
me rikki - £4
me airflow - £4
wetbag - £2
bucket - £3

comes to £141.50, so you could offer the whole lot for say £130 if you didn't want to sell it in pieces. obviously adjust the prices up or down a bit depending on the condition of stuff. HTH

That's more than I thought we would be able to get! They are still in good condition (liners more or less still like new) as they were only used by DD for about a year. The size 1 totsbots wraps are the only ones showing a bit of wear (because she was in them so long.

I think I will put them up as a job lot for £120

Done - thanks for your advice Becksydee.

And on GumTree too. I had never heard of this site before - I've registered for The Used Nappy Company too and will list them on there tonight. Can you tell I need them sold quickly??
