My sister and i went halves in buying a bassinette off ebay (she is TTC) we got it for $80!. You can get some serious bargains on there. The one we bought was just a neutral colour with teddys on it and in such good condition. I got given a cot but my pram, bassinette, portacot were all off ebay. I suggest you try there before going to a store.
Have a great day
