Quick question!

I have a few questions I'm hoping you lovely, cloth diapering mommas can answer for me! I've never cloth diapered before (FTM), but I'm planning on using prefolds with diaper covers a few weeks after my LO is born. That being said, I came across a listing for 5 thirsties diaper covers, 23 Chinese prefold cloth diapers, 8 custom diapers, one snappi, and 1 wet bag. First of all, what makes it a Chinese prefold? And secondly, how much would you say all of this is worth? How much should I offer? I know the diaper covers run around $10-15 and I saw the prefolds for $2 a piece. TIA!

Most prefolds are either Chinese or Indian and it just means where the cotton comes from. Chinese prefolds are then most common, Indian prefolds tend to be puffier and softer though (I prefer Indian prefolds). If this is used then it's a rip off. You can get prefolds for cheaper than 2$ a piece. Thirsties covers are about or less than 12$. You could got to Nicki's diapers and get 3 dozen newborn prefolds, 6 Thirsties cover, 4 snappi's and some wetabgs ( whole NB stash) for about 200$.

I never really worried about Chinese vs. Indian prefolds. This sums it up:

Generally, I want to pay around 50% of new prices for used diapers. No more than 75%. So I'd say around $75 - $90 for that lot, depending on condition.
