GRRRR - Ebay vent

My husband always wins. I still need a Bopsi Pillow, a double stroller, and a Breastpump. I don't think I would buy a breastpump on Ebay though (sanitary issues)...unless it was never used.

mckayleesmom replied: Its not that we can't afford it....I only go on Ebay when Im bored and might bid on something every now and then.....but I have never won. I will just get it at the mall tomorow. Believe it or not...we don't have second hand shops or consignment shops around here. I was just seeing if I could save a penny. Im cheap.

BTW, I had a sanitation issue with buying a used breast pump when I was looking into them too. But I spoke to a lactation counselor at the hospital and she said there was nothing to worry about because you can buy steriled replacement parts for all the parts that have sanitation issues. So the only thing that is being reused is the air hose that connects the container and the pump itself. And this just sucks in air; no milk. I wanted a new one but I needed a good pump and they run about $300-350. I just couldn't afford it. So I started looking elsewhere and my mom found a Medela for $150 at a children's resale store. And while I was in the hospital they gave me all of the replacement parts that I needed for free.

Good luck finding everything you need!!

MomToMany replied: I LOVE eBay! I buy lots of clothes and other stuff (mainly cloth diapers), plus DH is always bidding on stuff too. I get frustrated when I lose out on something I really wanted too.

I hope you find what you are looking for! Good luck!

AndriNPetersdada replied: Anytime. It's easy. Do you see the search place in ebay.com? type in whatever you need. thats all i did i typed double stroller and ect and thats what I found.

Mommy2BAK replied: I never really have gotten into the ebay mania. My DH is obsessed, for a while we had UPS at our doorstep every other day, I put a stop to that!

It's probaly best that I don't look into bidding on ebay, because I am not a very controlled spender. LOL

ctymom replied: I dont know if you've visited this site or not but they have some decent deals. www.babyage.com We bought our jogger stroller and highchair from there. And shipping is only $5.95 no matter what you buy.

mckayleesmom replied: I was just thinking...If I buy a bopsi pillow on Ebay...the total with shipping will probably be the same as if I went to the store and bought one...lol

Very true! I was thinking about that yesterday.
