im 1/2 way to my storch..time for serious searching!!!

[aisraeltax]

im 1/2 way to being able to afford my new storch. the deal is that anything i can sell i get to keep the $$ for whatever i want WITHOUT QUESTION!!! heheheheh!!! so, im getting a brand new Storch!!!
i have already bought all my med. diapers i need, so i am all set with doing this!
all i need is help finding the best price! so, if any of you want to help me shop, i want either an Inka or Ulli (not sure yet), 5.2 size Storch!!!
lets get working mamas and find the BEST price for a Storch out there (not really wanting used, even EC b/c the price difference is so small, kwim?). want my OWN!

Attached to Baby has them for $114 and free shipping. I have no idea how that compares, i just know the owner of Atached to Baby and know that was about what my friend told me a new one would be yesterday. I know what you mean that for another $20 or less you can have new instead of a $85 or so used.

i found one site that has them for $103 plus shipping.

but then another site that has "returns" for $92!!!! not sure if i want to risk that, but thinking about it...

I thought that I'd seen them cheeper than that. here's one for $82 I found on my first google search:

they are kind of tricky. they state those prices, but if you want a 4.6 or 5.2, its an additional amount (17 or so)...so that site has the one i want for $105, w/o shipping. see my delimma???

thanks for looking for me though. i appreciate it.

right now i am deciding between these:
new at $103 total, including shipping
new but returned, at $98
used $83

wwyd?

Wow, that site is so misleading. I knew that they usually charged extra for the longer one's, but every other site I've been on tells you up front that there is an additional charge. :
sorry about that

[aisraeltax]

alot of sites ive seen have started with that smaller price. it is misleading to a point, but when everyone is doing it (almost) i guess i feel its just the way its done.
i just wonder who uses those very short ones. ????

ATB has a returns sale right now -- there's a 5.2 inka for $103...

I'd do the new but returned at $98

Check out childrensneeds.com - they seem to have good prices? Not sure what shipping is. I got my Didy from them and it came right away - they had the best price for that a couple of years ago.

im thinking of gettinga 4.6 instead of the 5.2. why would i get the longer one? im sooo confused!

[kofduke]

I'd think a 4.6 would be long enough for ya - I'm 5'2" 170 and I can do all the ties - I think you're taller but skinnier!

I also think I'd lean towards the Ulli if you can find one - from what I've been hearing recently the Inka is the heaviest Storch and might be uncomfortable for summer even in NH (though I've never seen either IRL!)

[aisraeltax]

thanks Kristin...

im 5'9 and 185 as of last weeks dr. appt...hopign to be down to around 160 by summers end but you never know.

i just dont want a ton of extra fabric, but i dont want to regret not having more. More is better, right?

[atozmama]

It seems like longer would be better. Do you sew at all? Cutting a bit off and hemming it would be fairly easy if you find you consitently have to much. For your earlier WWYD, I would go for the new one at $103, it is only $5 more than the new but returned. I'd like the idea the I am the first and only to use it.

My Didy is 5 yards, and it would be better if it were a bit longer. I can barely tie it in back for some carries and I'm not that big.
