in such a qwandry, zapp to keep or sell? im already keeping new quest i think as everyone needs a mac and my friend is changing her mind like the wind over it!! dunoon wants zapp, but i love it but maybe won't use it? aaagghh!

Disenchanted3 · 05/05/2009 18:42

sELL IT! CAUSE YOU WILL ONLY USE IT THEN PUT IT AWAY THEN WISH YOU SOLD IT NEW BECAUSE ITS WORTH MORE bnin THAN USED, EVEN IF ITS ONLY ONCE!

Damn caps, sorry,!!

nicolamumof3 · 05/05/2009 18:57

mmmh i just put green retro spot snuggle on it its gorgeous. i can't believe how much bigger the seat looks but it still folds tiny, its up side by side in my utility room! strange that they haven't mentioned these 'improvements'

loulabellecelino · 05/05/2009 18:58

I wish someone would buy this blooming loola of mine! its like new, in cream, looks stunning, I've got it on ebay for £115 - am I asking too much? I need the cash to fund my bugaboo habit

nicolamumof3 · 05/05/2009 19:00

is it a normal loola or loola up?

loulabellecelino · 05/05/2009 19:10

its a normal one, but the bumper bar is the loola up reversible one which looks a lot nicer.

nicolamumof3 · 05/05/2009 19:13

it is hard work selling atm. have you checked completed listings?

loulabellecelino · 05/05/2009 19:16

ye. an auction one went for £102 yesterday, and there is one with a car seat on for £139, but not sold yet. my postage is cheap too, 12 quid for 24 hour courier.

5inthebed · 05/05/2009 20:53

Can't believe you're thinking of selling your Zapp Nicola. You'll miss it if you do! Don't do it!

nicolamumof3 · 05/05/2009 21:28

im not doing it! i know you don't like the colour but i love it, its gorgeous, my green spotty buggysnuggle is perfect match as a liner esp as the seat is longer it fits it better.

nicolamumof3 · 05/05/2009 21:32

dis, didn't want to clog up lollymummy's post with tales of cheap bn zapps not really fair.

i've bought three puschairs now from babyvalue all have been brand new with tags on etc.

but this zapp was better than the strawberry one as it was totally unassembled the wheels on the strawb zapp looked like ex display and there were no maxi cosi adapters. but that didn't both me fabrics were bnew and had tags attached.

this one is exactly as you would buy from shop with warranty card, instructions, sealed raincover, and adapters and sealing discs. i think the newer 09 colours i guessed they would be less likely to be used iykwim. im huge fan of babyvalue would buy from them again. they have all bebe confort and quinny/maxi cosi stuff.

obv it is a gamble as the items are listed as used but they have no quibble refunds, (obv you don't get postage back tho) they are friendly etc.

5inthebed · 05/05/2009 21:32

Well I'm glad of that! You keeping the quest as well?

claret1980 · 05/05/2009 21:38

OMG Nicola, can't believe you are selling Zapp!

nicolamumof3 · 05/05/2009 21:42

im not selling claret its ok!!!

yes back to three pushchairs i got quest to compare handle height and just love it too. my friend was supposed to be having it but i think everyone should have a maclaren! so its staying as i love the seat design. and you know i always loved my zapp. its delicious! test run tomorrow tate will have to WALK shock horror.

claret1980 · 05/05/2009 21:54

Good decision!

nicolamumof3 · 06/05/2009 07:16

sorry dunoon, i feel sad now for you. i will check out baby value listings in a min!

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/05/2009 08:27

Don't fret. I have had a good look myself and am watching an orient one.
I have that strange feeling when you don't get a pushchair- flat but a teeny bit relieved.
Should sell before buying another and hey there is a whole big world of pushchairs out there!

BexieID · 06/05/2009 10:17

Hello! We got home monday. Tom had his post op appt yesterday and had another hearing test. They were happy with him but are going to write to our GP regarding a SALT referal.

SIL went to the auction last night and bought her flat for £44k. Ours went to a lady for £43k so fingers crossed shes just bought it to rent out. DP and I decided not to bother bidding as they wanted a 10% deposit for the auction as well as having to find a deposit for the mortgage. We have no idea how SIL is going to manage but hope she does.

Need to finish filling in the council form and hand that in just in case. Would also just love to goto bank and find out how much mortgage we'd get anyway and what deposit we'd need.

nicolamumof3 · 06/05/2009 11:06

Fingers crossed for you bexie.

we just got back from music class took the new zapp lot of 'another new pushchair' but im used to that now!!! ha,ha. LOVE, LOVE LOVE it. funky colours, so light, dream to push. yum.

loulabellecelino · 06/05/2009 11:16

aaarrrghh! just rung bugaboo, my cam is out of warranty, the handle wont stay upright (I knew this when I bought it) they said all they can do is a new chassis at £208!!!!!!!! has anyone had this happen to them? anything I can do to fix it myself?

Disenchanted3 · 06/05/2009 11:39

might have all black BJCM

BexieID · 06/05/2009 11:42

Might? lol, i'd still like a BJCM to have at mums for the next baby.

Disenchanted3 · 06/05/2009 11:43

In negotiations, lol.

mamadiva · 06/05/2009 11:49

Bexie I know it's not exactly what you are looking for but I would imagine and hope that Liam will be out of pushchair by December if you liek I can give you first dibs on it then?

I won''t be ggetting another and it will be well used but I will give you it for a fair price if it's still decent and I will be able to deliver to you in person because I will be down then

It should still be on the go seems sturdy enough. LOL.
