DH has been watching Mountain Buggies on EBay for a while now.
Sorry that I'm not the bearer of good news - the average price that used ones are selling for is $300 - $500 - maybe a bit more for an almost new one if you are in Syd or Melb because generally they are only pickup items so you have a limited market.
Eeek, I think that expecting $800 might be a bit ambitious. Compare what you have with other's on ebay, and in your area.
In honesty, if you list something for $0.99, you take the risk of it going for that.
I sold my old pram which was in immaculate condition, with a bassinette attachment etc recently on ebay. I listed it at $150 - because I had been watching what other ones had been selling (or not selling) for. I decided that $150 was fair. I was contacted the next day by someone who lived very close by, who wanted to 'Buy it Now'. I added a Buy it now price of $200, and she bought it immediately.
I was lucky that she wanted exactly what I had, and did not want to wait - we both felt we had done ok.
Hi just confirming what price others are quoting, seeing you can buy a new MB with pump and nappy bag on sale for $800, generally people won't pay more than 50% of new price even if it's in 'as new' condition... and the basinettes are selling second hand for around $100.
FWIW I just bought on Gumtree a 1 y/o MB urban elite without basinette but with $300 of extras (bumper bar, rain cover, sun cover, sheepskin liner) for $450.
You may prefer Gumtree in future for this sort of pick-up-only item as you name your price and can negotiate with an individual interested seller.
GL and don't worry too much I actually think you'll get a good price! Expect a run up on the price until the last second of the auction, I have missed out on HEAPS of baby items recently for that reason.
