if you're looking to buy new, or even get ideas of what you want before you look on ebay, there is Baby Kingdom which has stores in Sydney and also babies Galore.
if you buy in bulk you can usually get a good discount, or wait for the sales.
i got my cot and changetable at easter while it was on sale, and laybyed it til i was ready to pick it up. that way you can pay it off graduallly and then the shop stores it for you if you arent ready to have all the furniture at your place.
i have recently bought a few things off Gumtree and have had lots of success with purchasing second hand goods that are in great condition, at really cheap prices.
i bought my pram and car capsule from a friend so its worth asking around if you know anyone with kids.
also as mentioned Target and Big W are great esp when they are having a sale. i have also found Best & Less have some nice baby clothes.
Thanks for the info.
we have decided not to hurry now for the ned of financial year sale. We have plenty of time and hopefully we will find any good sale later.
I already got the babies galore catalogue 2009, that will help me to see different options and then I will check on target, Big W and others.
it seems as though there are sales on all the time at the moment, so it wont be long before another sale. keep an eye on the baby kingdon website. sometimes they have 20% off manchester, for example, and other times they might have cot specials, so not everything is on sale at the same time.
i found that accumulating things gradually worked really well in terms of getting things on sale. look out for DJs sales too!
i have only bought about 4 or 5 items brand new that havent been on sale, everything else i have bought second hand or on sale, and its all really nice stuff too.
