Would you buy a used bedroom set

Wedding18 · December 2010

Due to having to move and the major possibility of having to have Ella's toys in her room due to not having a playroom in my new place, I was thinking that maybe I would sell Ella's bedroom set and buy her a new one.

It is a 3 n 1 crib with an armoire and dresser. The bed goes into a full size. Do you think that something like this would sell and if so, how much would be a good amount to ask? I think everything was about 2000.00.

I think there are pictures of it in my bio. It is Muniere and solid wood.

You would be surprised as to how many people buy stuff used. My old room mate bought a beautiful crib and dresser off craigslist. Oh and she got her glider too. I say take some pictures, see what it's worth today and come down about 50%

I would definitely buy used furniture if it was in excellent condition!! We've actually sold a bunch of furniture on Craigslist.

We sold our old living room furniture when we moved into our house. When I bought it in 2003, I paid $1000 for the couch and chair. It was still in excellent condition, so we figured about 50% of what the original price was was fair. BUT, when H lists things, he always lists them at about 25% - 30% more than what we are willing to take. Because people on Craigslist like to bargain and talk people down, this is a pretty good tactic to really get what you are looking for. If we don't get any hits, then he'll lower the list price. I think we ended up selling that furniture for $600. Good luck!!

I might actually be interested, but I can't see the pics in your bio. If you do decide you want to sell it, I'd love to see pics. You can email me at amy.l.cutting at gmail.com

Shannon's bedroom set is a hand-me-down. I would have no problem buying a used bedroom set. Although, I would replace and buy a new mattress and boxspring, especially if I didn't know the previous owner.
