What is a good price for a used infant carrier/stroller?

Me and some neighbors are having a yard sale this wknd.  Signs got posted yesterday pm.  A guy comes to my house looking for an infant carrier for his granddaughter.  I know they last six or seven years, mine is from 2006.  I can't remember how much I paid for it but it is in good condition, obviously, or I wouldn't be trying to sell it given that it's a travel system.  He asked, I said $50, but he's a poor guy, wanted other stuff I had too, don't know him but bought the story, and I ended up giving it to him for $20.  I'm okay with that - it is almost four years old.  Sold him a pink little push button 4-wheeler for $20, the FP fish swing for $20 and Ethan's stroller that is pretty beat up for another $10.

That's alright, right?

I could have very easily said "you don't have $50 for the carrier/stroller but you're giving me $70 in total for all this other sh*t?"  But obviously I wasn't going to be rude.  Plus, they didn't have room in the car at that point but he gave me the cash anyway and came back a few hours later to get the stuff.

ETA - on the *rude* comment, i guess what i mean is that given the other stuff he wanted, i could have stuck firm to my $50 on the carrier and he either wanted it or not.  i just like it wasn't right to do that though.

I would just be glad to have the stuff out of my house!

Sounds like he was happy - you are pretty happy. Win for everyone.

I would have just given it to him, but I am all for people having car seats.  I see too many poor people around here with the wrong car seat for the child, expired seats, ect.  If they need it, I would give it to them.

Well, that's how I am too.  But times are tight and I need to sell anything I can.  I lost my job yesterday.  Business is slow and not picking up. 

They already had a car seat but was rather beat up.  They wanted a pink one and I had one.  Now had they shown up with no car seat (they had the baby girl with them) and depending on how the negotiating panned out, I may have anyway.
