Would You Buy This Stash?

smushi

I'm looking at building my stash for when baby will be a little bigger (we'll use covers and prefolds for newborn stage, plus a few nb AIO).  Would you buy these used diaps?  Total, asking $175 (used with one baby til toddlerhood)  Any other questions you'd want to ask?

10 one size, all in one Bum Genius diapers (all the organic version)
2 one size, all in one Grovia diapers
2 one size Grovia covers
7 assorted covers (all one size)
3 super thick bambo Zebi prefolds
8 bamboo cloth wipes
2 wet bags (one lg, one sm)
A laundry bag

I'll also throw in a stack of prefolds I have left if you want them.  My baby just turned 2 so they have all been purchased within the last 2 years.  I mainly dryer dried.  In the assorted covers there are 3 econobum, 1 blueberry, and 3 thirsties.  The elastic appears to still be in good shape on those.  On a couple the elastic is a little stained.  I haven't used them in about 6 months but I don't remember any leakage at all.  And I was thinking they were all one size but now that I'm examining tags, it appears that the assorted ones are size 2. (9 months+)  and now that I think about it, I don't remember buying the Blueberry and Econobums new so maybe they are a little older.  The Grovia covers are really nice and the newest ones.  They work really well as swim diapers too.

ETA:  Totally unrelated, but where the heck can I order a tube of CJ's Butter Unscented???  I've been looking everywhere, but can't find the tube form at all (everyone is sold out).  I'm 35 weeks and having a boy.  I'd like to have some handy for his arrival, so I'm getting a little frantic. (because totally rational new moms get frantic over diaper paste...)

The sentence about using grovia covers as a swim diaper has me leery about everything else. I wouldn't use anything routinely used as a swim dipe for a regular dipe. Plus some of the dipes are older or different sizes than she remembers.
Price seems a little high to me too.

Ooooh, so maybe she's used the Grovias for swim diapers and the chlorine would have affected them?  Eeesh, didn't even think of that.

Price is good, but like book it said, I would have to see them in person, as it sounds a little sketchy.

And I think I heard CJs is discontinuing the tubes, that's why everyone is sold out. Most people prefer the tubs anyway, a lot gets wasted in the tube.

She's local, so I can go see them in person.  I'm new to CD'ing, so seeing them in person wouldn't be the most effective for me though.  I wouldn't be totally sure what I'm looking for.  Any images you could share of things to look for/steer clear of?  Thank you ladies for the help!!!

And @mrshudson618 Thanks for the info!  I wasn't sure if it changed the consistency.  I'm expecting a boy, and I've heard recommendations on this board that CJ's is excellent for post circumcision care as well as diaper rash.

@bookitup you are a fantabulous storehouse of knowledge!  Thank you!

I love the OBGEs, but I would NOT, I repeat WOULD NOT buy them used. Especially after only 10 being used through toddlerhood and dryer dried all the time.

I have new, used for 6+ months, and used OBGEs and there is a huge difference. There are holes in the used ones, the cotton isn't as fluffy and they don't absorb nearly as much either. And from drying in the dryer just for 6 months, I can tell a little difference in those vs the "new" ones.

@potterowl They've been out for a few months, in the tubes, that is.  I'll probably end up buying from the same company but in the bigger jar/tub version, now that I know the consistency is the same.
