Hey,
We're looking at options for a second hand cot at the moment. One option is from B's cousin, a wooden cotbed that was bought new for around $650.00 (without mattress) from the wooden cot factory. It is around 4.5 years olf and is in good condition. She hasn't come up with a price yet as to what she wants for it and I'm wondering if any of you coud give me an idea what you think would be fair. I really suck at working this stuff out! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm not sure if what we bought ours for is really 'realistic' as far as second hand pricing goes, it was from a friend of my mums - they only used it for two years and is in absolutely pristine condition, originally from Baby Factory (Settler model I think) at around $600 not including mattress, and we paid them $250 for it AND got an innnersprung mattress for it as well (from the same people). I would say for the cot alone, on TM for example, $300 or so is probably a good starting point? Not too sure though, sorry !  ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

We paid $260 for a new one at Farmers. So long as it doesn't have Bora or something like that and is in reasonably good condition there is no reason why a old one can't be stripped and painted. My SIL did that and to be honest the old cot looks better than mine. ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

Hey Paws
I bought my neighbours one - it was $700.00 new (2 years ago), and is in immaculate condition, with just a few (really few!) scratches. We are buying it from her for $500, including mattress, all blankets (including 2 or 3 100% wool ones which retail for $79.95 and some cotton ones) and linen, mattress protector and cot bumper. Also, the stuff has ben extremely well looked after. ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

That's cheaper than the ladle just about Ginger 
Maya's cot was $299 new (Baby Factory Alpha cot) and the ones I've just bought for the twins were $499 each (I got a discount on top of that for buying two), they're the Baby-something Sleigh cots from Farmers. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I bought my one off of trade-me for $80.00, gave it a light sand a new coat of white paint that cost me $10 and it looks pretty good if you ask me (but I could be biased lol). ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

I have been looking on Trade Me and the second hand cots generally go for around $300-400 (including mattress) but for a new cot they generally cost around $700 (excluding mattress). Depends what type you are looking for too. ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

Well I think we'll offer her $300.00 - I don't want the mattress because we'll be buying a new one of course.
If B's cousin doesn't get back to us Baby City have a good basic cot on special for $200.00 so we may run with that option. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
