We have decided that we're going to try and get as much stuff off trademe as possible, with the exception of some of the bigger stuff... and so last night I couldn't help myself, and bought a nappy bag  It's brand new, and in fairly neutral gray colors, and even had the tag line "A nappy bag even your hubby won't mind carrying !!" LOL $35 and free shipping, so I was quite pleased. I saw a couple of second hand ones for heaps cheaper that looked OK, but I felt better about this one and just went for it.
I have also spotted a stroller / capsule / carseat '3 in 1' that I really like too for $250, a three wheeler, but won't get that for another three months or so I don't think. Who else has a baby stuff shopping addiction?  I know I'm not alone !! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Practically everyone on here is addicted to TradeMe! We got a lot of Josiah's stuff off there, as I hadn't kept much beyond the cot and some girls clothes from Kiya. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

| I introduced my mum to trademe and she loves it. She used to own a wool shop and had hundreds of knitting patterns in boxes, so now she is selling them on trademe and making herself some extra dosh. I've been buying baby einstein videos for jake. $10 each!!! And I got a double stroller for $70 a few weeks ago! go trademe!!! |

I guess I was really lucky that I was able to get some of our stuff while overseas, otherwise I think I'd be getting EVERYTHING off TM :P Not that this is bad !! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

I bought a knitted jersey for $3 today. Do I need one??? No.
I think that pretty much sums up me and trademe. Might start selling back some of the crap I have accumulated. |

trademe is our home page, it has fueled my little people addiction - have got a couple of things off there, to add to our huge collection - usually the stuff that isn't sold anymore - am still looking out for the docotrs surgery set that i just missed the other day - was so miffed!
on the other hand - it's also great cos i am now selling stuff on there too - got good prices for 2 lots of bulk baby gear - have sold our baby gym - lolol to Jezsika...  and also am gonna get rid of a whole heap of stuff that i bought but never wore - from my party days. lolol.
trade me does rock... ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I don't buy much, mostly sell, but will probably look for the bits and pieces we need for our next baby when the time comes. But even selling is addictive! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

We buy and sell a bit on trademe. There are lots of things I've brought and then decided to sell and have gotten more for them than I payed for them. ------------- Mother to two beautiful children - Sophie age 6 and Ephraim age 4 |

I got a free CD from Amazon (they accidentally sent me two and then told me to keep it as it wasn't worth postage etc. sending it back) which I sold for $35. Score!
I've decided to sell all my cot linen and stuff this week. Not that there's anything wrong with it, just that we are more financially stable now than we were when we had Maya so we plan on buying some new stuff. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
