Re: S/O used toys

  • I'm in no way against buying new stuff, but exactly what @WasNotWas‌ said. They are too young to notice or care. If I found something awesome used I'd have no problem wrapping it for Christmas. But I probably won't go out of my way to find used toys to use as christmas gifts.

  • I'm wanting to get Owen an outdoor play house, or something similar. They are so expensive, so I've been keeping my eye out for a used one.
    It must be in EUC though. So sun fade, moss, mold, broken ect.

    If I can't find one.... I've got one on a wishlist. I figured Owen and his new little brother will enjoy it together in a year or so.
    I may just buy new though.

  • I have a weird thing.  The idea of using used stuff, for anyone in the my family, gives me horrible anxiety.  I actually had a full on anxiety attack the last time I was in a Goodwill.

  • We have a lot of hand me down toys from friends. With how much my kid chews on things, I really like knowing where they come from.

    There are also a few "investment pieces" that I'd like to get new because I know they will be played with for a long time and by any future kids we have. An example would be that I really want to get a nice, simple wooden kitchen new.

  • I'm specifically looking on Craigslist, our local swap and shop on fb, and a few consignment stores.

    After shitstorm 2014 and watching garbage pickers take items from people's curbs completely covered in sewage water I have sidelined myself from buying most anything used if I don't know the seller personally. I'm getting the heebeejees thinking about it....

    :-O guhross!

  • I got C 1 brand new toy last year; the rest was from yard sales or thrift stores. Go figure, she never played with her new toy and I'm currently trying to sell it.

  • I used to think used toys were gross but I've totally changed my tune.  That shizz is expensive!  DD's birthday present was a play kitchen I got on craigslist.  I hate paying full price for toys so I either buy them used from craigslist and FB buy/sell/trade sites or I get them when they're on sale/I have a coupon.
