buying a used BOB

How much would you pay for a used double BOB revolution?

I probably wouldn't pay more than $350 for the 2010 and earlier models.

Agreed, depends on the age of the stroller.  Also it would depend on what the purpose I was buying it for.  I wouldn't buy a revolution for running purposes (personally).

Why?  I have the single and I love it for running and walking.  Have you used the double for running?

Agree, $350 range sounds reasonable for a double, it's still a heck of a deal compared to new.  I paid $200 for my single, though it came with about $100 worth of accessories.  As to PP saying they wouldn't run with a double revolution- I have 2 friends that run with doubles and love them, 1 of them does half marathons regularly with it too, so I would say it's up to the challenge.

I run with a double revolution and I love it.  I haven't tried the ironman though.

I've never seen a CL post for a double less than $450, but even singles are usually priced at $300 in my neck of the woods.

The older model was around $559 new.  REI and a few other places would have them 20% off once or twice per year, so you could get a brand new one for $450.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.  It's not the double that I wouldn't run with.  I am out there with my stroller with 80lbs of kids and a dog on each side, it's the actual revolution.  My preference would be the Ironman or Sport Utility.
