Default Should I sell my BOB SUS?

I just bought a Bob Revolution to replace my SUS...but now that I have found a potential seller (offered $150 but I might try for $175 if I sell it), I am having problems saying yes. DH thinks we have WAY too many strollers:

Bob Rev (definitely keeping)
Bob SUS
Combi (works with carseat-definitely keeping)
Ancient Peg, from a friend, at least 10 yrs old.
Bike Trailer that can be used as a stroller
Sit N Stand but currently lent to a friend to use.

DH and I are off-shift and this summer I will take the kids to a park or something after work at least twice a week most likely. Currently DH and I pass the Combi back and forth and it is a pain to not have it in my car when I think it is or in my car when DH needs it. He has been using the Peg when he has to have a stroller and I have the Combi.

So if you follow my logic, am I crazy to want to keep the SUS in the chance we might need it? DH thinks he can just use the Bike Trailer Stroller if I forget to take the Rev out. I haven't used the SUS since I got the Rev, but the weather has been SUPER SUCKY since I got it so hard to say...

Is that a good price? The stroller is in really great shape with only one cosmetic mark on it from a sticker DS1 put on it!

So do you use the SUS for running? If not, I don't think you need both BOBs and would sell it. How old is the SUS? I would try listing it at $200 (and expect $150-$175) to give you wiggle room for negotiation.

I had the same question. If you or the hubby are a serious runner who like to do marathons then I would keep it. Otherwise the bike trailer will make a suitable back-up to the revolution.

If its in excellent condition and it sounds like it is then I would list at $200 in hopes of getting $175. If a friend offered me the $150 I would probably just consider the $25 difference a gift.

No, neither of us are runners. I know that I probably don't need it and the bike trailer is a good back-up, I just needed someone other than DH (who covets garage space) to tell me! I hate to give it up.

It's not a friend, I just happened to see someone on Craig's list looking for one and started emailing.

Thanks!
