Would you buy used bottles?

lmdbww · January 2009

DD is finally getting the hang of Level 2 nipples so I was going to sell the old 4oz. Dr Browns bottles that I had stored away. These happen to be the regular clear plastic Dr Browns bottles (not the bpa free ones). I have 6 complete bottles and a cleaning brush that is still sealed in plastic.

Assuming you are one of the people that is not bothered by their non-bpa-ness, would you buy used bottles?

And, would you buy the used nipples with them? (I would think they would just need to be re-washed and re-sterilize before use.)

I was going to list them on ebay and of course state their non-bpa-ness and that they were used. (There are other listings on ebay for used Dr Browns non-bpa bottles and they do have bids, but I just thought i'd ask on here too...)

I personally would not buy used bottles. I would think if someone bought them that they would buy new nipples.

i would be more likely to buy used bottles than nipples. Assuming I wasn't concerned about BPA anyway (I am, so I wouldn't.

Used nipples is akin to used soothers and teethers to me.

I wouldn't buy used bottles... they're just one of those things that I feel has to be new. Just my opinion though!

Glass ones yes. Plastic ones, sorry but no.

I wouldn't either, but I'm sure there are some out there who maybe are in the financial situation where they need to and figure they will just re-sterilize them. You could also try to list on Craislist.com, that's at least free.

I would never buy used. It would gross me out that it was in someone else's mouth

Nipples are cheap enough to buy new. Also, don't they get stretched after a while and you're supposed to replace them?

I don't know if I'd buy them, but I'd consider taking them if they were offered to me from a friend. I definitely wouldn't use the nipples, though. I'd get the replacement parts. If I were to buy them, I'd want to know that they weren't put through the dishwasher alot, so that the bpa wasn't affected too much.

I sold used bottles on ebay (Dr. Brown's and Evenflo) without the nipples, and they sold. I stated the nips were available but the bidder didn't want them, which I wasn't bothered by.

Good idea.

Thanks for all of your opinions. I think I might sell them anyway and if someone does win them, i'll give them the choice of taking the nipples too.

I"m not sure if you are aware but you can take your non-bpa free bottles back to BRU and they will eaither exchange for bpa free bottles or give you a store credit. Depends on the stores.

I have bought used playtex bottles, but since they use a liner... I think it is different.

I would never buy used nipples though..
