I went to a JBF sale on Thursday night, with a FTM presale pass. It was insanely crowded and people meant business. It was FTMs but also consigners and volunteers so there were tons of people. Many brought wagons and empty strollers and overloaded them. Combine that with the fact that half the crowd was pregnant or carrying babies, it was overwhelming and hard to navigate. It had so much stuff, though! Rows and rows of bouncers, rock n plays, swings, strollers, baby carriers, bassinets, plus tons of clothes and toys.
I got a serta co-sleeper, a ring sling, car head rest mirror, plus a few clothing items all for $70 so it was worth it
I am going to my first JBF sale in April. Luckily after all the showers so we will know what we still need. I got the FTM early access pass so hopefully it’s worth my $5 to get in before everyone else. Any pointers?

@krashke take a wagon or laundry basket (pulled by a rope etc). mine sometimes has those super large blue IKEA bags handy for people to use. Not sure if all do that or just the people the run our local ones. Then fill em up! I usually grab anything that might be a ''maybe" then find a corner spot to sit, sort and decide.. then return stuff to the return racks. Learned that trick watching the experienced moms my first year lol.
@katelynrae86 ohhhh baby carriers! Something I've never looked at so didn't think of them being there! Since I'm undecided what to get, I just got super excited about deals for trial and error ones.
I love JBF so much lol.
