What's the best way to go about selling a used breastpump?

[busymama77]

I have one for sale on ebay right now and on diaperswappers.com and no one is biting. If you've sold one recently or bought one recently how did you sell and/or where did you buy it from?

I feel like I have it priced right considering it was only used for a couple of months and I'm also throwing in some misc items - some that are used and some NEVER used.

TIA!

It'll probably sell eventually as long as you have it priced near what competition has theirs priced at.

I personally sold my last one via Craigslist. I see a lot of them on there all of the time. I'm less likely to buy a used one (if I do) on eBay due to shipping fees. I'd actually prefer to buy one from an MDC mama before eBay as well, though. If that makes sense? LOL.

I tried craigslist and they flagged it for some reason. Is there a way to post it on MDC?

Have you included a set of new tubing? If not you could try doing that (and upping the price to reflect that). I know when I bought a breast pump used off of ebay I only considered ones where a new, unopened set of tubing was included because I'm lazy and didn't want to have to make two purchases. I was buying a "niche" pump though that it's hard to find parts for so that may have increased my laziness.

No, I haven't because I'm unsure where I can purchase something like that. Thoughts?

I know some lactation stores (like the ones in/near hospitals that sell supplies, maybe Babies R Us? though I think BRU just has the bigger parts and the little white flaps and that's it?) have the tubing and such.. otherwise you can find sets of tubing, etc. online.

Your Craigslist may be different or more heavily "policed." The one for my area, there's at least 20-50 pump listings at any given time.

To list on MDC, I think you have to purchase a subscription or something. I forget, lol.
