I want to sell DS crib bedding on craigslist. IDK if it matters but we live in N. Idaho.

How much would you spend one this??

It comes with:

comforter, sheet, bed skirt, bumper, diaper stacker, musical mobile

It depends on the brand and how much you originally spent. Also, how quickly you want to sell it. I've seen people on CL selling crib bedding sets, saying they paid $80 and are asking $50. In my opinion, it definitely wouldn't be worth it. I could probably get that set new on sale for $50! Buying used, you figure that thing has been spit up on, pooped on, peed on and God knows what else, plus washed multiple times. If someone's buying used baby bedding, they're probably on a budget (though not true for EVERY single person, most). Used bedding, no matter what size it is, should be priced low. That's just my two cents, others may feel differently. If you have baby consignment stores near you, you could also see what they charge for a simiilar set. Good luck!

I agree with PP, if someone is looking for USED baby bedding, they are looking for something cheap. I would rather spend $75 on clearance NEW bedding than $50 on used bedding. I would say you could maybe get $30 for it.

Used bedding...ummm...$50 b/c it comes with mobile and such.

I live in a large metropolitan area, and I tried to sell DS' crib bedding set on CL for $50 (it included the bumper, crib skirt, sheets, baby quilt, two window valances, wall decals and a mobile). I got nothing. I dropped the price down to $30 and it sold (but it still took awhile before a buyer came along).

I sold a lot of DS' baby stuff on CL without a problem but the bedding set was harder. It was a really cute theme and in perfect condition. In my experience, I just think bedding is something people buy new unless it's a steal in price.

When I look for baby clothing / bedding items on Craigslist, I look for lots. As in lot of 15 onesies / tees or lot of 10 shoes / booties, lot of bedding / receiving blankets, etc and the like. And I'll spend $20 - $50 depending on amount of items included, and the condition, quality and brand of each item.

If an item is posted at a price I don't agree with I'll usually email a link to myself and check back a few days later to see if it's been reposted, then I'll send an offer for what I'm willing to pay or sometimes ask if they have an additional item that I'm looking for that they can sell with it for x amount.

Never hurts to ask and it usually works unless someone really doesn't want to part with it. That's how I shop CL.

Maybe $30?? Anymore and I'd just fork over the extra cash to buy a new set.

I thought $30.00 as well, people are bargain shopping on Craigslist.

$40 tops. I wouldn't pay that much for a used baby bedding set.

thats what i'm thinking

I wouldn't buy used bedding unless money was extremely tight in which case I would be looking at spending $20. The bumper, comforter, bedskirt and mobile are not even really necessary. THey are nice-to-haves which signals to me that they need to be priced low.
