Ok so we bought a used BOB duallie off of Craigslist over a year ago and it's ok. It is faded and doesn't look great but works fine. And it's orange (not my most favorite color). I think I paid $320 for it.
BUT....Kohls has one on sale for $626 right now - brand new, new model and I could get 30% off and an extra 15% off if I have my dad order it (he works there PT). Plus I currently have $30 in Kohl's cash and would also earn $70 in Kohl's cash! So after the 30% and 15% it would be $354. I could use my $30 in Kohl's cash and it would be about the same as I paid for my used one as well as purchase through Ebates and earn 6% back (around $20). And I'd earn $70 in Kohl's cash. And I could get a color other than orange!
**OK forgot about tax - there will be tax so the amount will be slightly higher but at the most it will be $37.
So am I crazy for wanting to buy a brand new stroller when I already have one? I'm thinking maybe I could put the one I currently own on CL to see if it would sell for the same price I bought it and then could upgrade for free!
Re: Am I crazy?
You are asking strangers in the interweb for advice regarding finances and personal tastes... yes, you are crazy. Welcome to the Club.
I -- personally -- wouldn't upgrade something like a stroller unless it was either broken (I wouldn't sell a broken one though), or if the one I owned was not practical to my needs. Mind you I don't have the extra cash to toss around for things that I don't believe are necessary.

Ha! I'm a stroller whore too! We already have the single and duallie BOB, Joovy caboose, maclaren triumph and I still have our snap n go which is useless.
DO IT!! The Kohl's deal is too complicated and crazy to pass on it - certainly makes a great story.
And you know - SOMEONE will buy your other one off CL....and they'll be looking for orange!
