Woohoo!! Update below!!

A house a few doors down from me is having a yard sale and they've got a toddler bed out there for sale. I haven't been down there to look closely at it, and only saw it while driving past. It appears to have a plastic headboard and it has Dora on it (DD loves Dora), and we really do need a toddler bed. She has one of those convertible cribs transformed to the "toddler bed" now, but it still has bars on 3 sides, which I don't like.

Anyway, my question: About how much would be a reasonable price range to ask/pay for a used toddler bed? I really have no idea, but would like just an idea so I'll know if it is worth it when I go down there and ask the price. It does appear to come with a mattress.

DD doesn't sleep in her current toddler bed, and DH and I have been talking about getting a *real* toddler bed that we can put next to our own bed in hopes of transitioning her over to it one of these days.

Thanks in advance!!

IT would depend on how much it cost to begin with, condition and age. I would say $10 to $15.

I think new they are around $60. Minimum I would say half price is reasonable - $30 for just the toddler bed without the mattress. Try looking it up on craigslist too.

Okay, thanks!!

I was thinking about $20-$25, but as I said, I just have no idea about these things. :)

We're about to walk down there now. I wonder if they would be willing to sell it without the mattress. I'll ask about that too. We've got a really good mattress already. Never slept on, lol!

Wow!!! I just got the toddler bed with mattress, sheet set, and a comforter for $10!! Then I got a little tricycle, a jacket, and a little princess computer thingie for another $5!!! I am super excited! I haven't been to a yard sale since I was a kid and my grandma M used to drag me to them every weekend.

I was amazed!! I fully expected to have to ask her to hold it for me so that I could run up to an ATM machine. All the cash I had was $15, and it worked out perfect!!

Awesome! I was going to say that on Craigslist around here they tend to go for $35ish with a mattress. You can always find better deals at yard sales!

Great find! I can't wait until the weather warms up here for yard sale season.
