I have heard great things about people finding deals on used diapers. I
am new to cloth and was looking for advice about where to look for used
diapers.
clothdiapertrader.com is a good one too but I also second the FB pages and Diaperswappers. Just a few tips from my diaper buying experiences so far and what I've seen on the swap pages:
- Make sure you know what you're buying ahead of time and how much you should pay for it. A lot of times with free shipping and discounts that many of the online CD sites have, it doesn't make sense to buy used. When sellers factor in Paypal fees and shipping costs on top of what they paid for the diaper, they often want close to, if not more, than what you could buy a new diaper for.
-Protect yourself from fraud. I've never had any problems and I like to believe that most of the people you'll encounter are just honest mama's but people do get scammed or buy a diaper that is not in the condition in which it was advertised. Take screen shots of pictures and descriptions once you commit to buying anything so you have it as proof. Listings can quickly be changed and/or deleted.
You can definitely find some great deals, you just need to be smart.
I always prefer local so I don't have to deal with shipping and can deal in cash. Look for a local B/s/t group on Facebook. It doesn't have to be just a diaper page either. I have gotten just as many off the regular mama swap page. Craigslist can be great for deals.
You just have to keep an eye out and be ready to jump at it when you find something.

Used diapers are a great way to save money. I just want to remind you to sanitize any used diapers you get, even if it's from a trusted friend. You just never know what could be in them! Trust me, I learned the hard way.
