I am selling my new baby jogger summit xc double jogger along with the bumper bar and the seat boards to make the back of the seat more firm. I have used the stroller 3x and it's in perfect condition. Here's my ad. http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/bab/3165401128.html I have it listed for $390. I have gotten what i would consider some super low ball offers ($200 and $300) so I'm just wanting to make sure I have it listed at an ok price. What do you think is ok to list it at or the least i should accept? There were 2 others listed in my craigslist area for $400+ so I dont feel like I'm way off base. I just wanted to get your opinions. Also, if you see anything I should change in my ad let me know. Thanks!

ETA: I decided to list my belly bar and the PE boards separately as well.

The link does not go to your ad.

It depends on your area and how long you are willing to wait. IMO, the accessories don't add much value for resale. They may make your ad more enticing, but don't necessarily fetch a higher price if that makes sense. Assuming this (http://www.albeebaby.com/baby-jogger-summit-xc-double-stroller-jogger-hybrid-red-black.html)is your stroller, I would say be willing to take $350. But sometimes if you are willing to persistently re-post and wait you can sell higher.

I will see if I can sell the accessories separately and then take $350 for the stroller. I fixed the link to my craigslist ad. Sorry about that! http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/bab/3165401128.html

It looks too wordy to me. I would lead with "I bought this stroller brand new 3 months ago and it has literally been used 3 times." I would probably get rid of the whole paragraph and the copy and pasted product details. I would do this since its easier to read:


I bought this stroller brand new 3 months ago and it has literally been used 3 times. This sale includes the double stroller ($650), the height-adjustable belly bar ($30) and firm seatback supports for each seat ($20).

Stroller Features:

Easiest one step fold on the market (see pictures below to see how it fits in our ford focus)
Hand brakes which are perfect for Seattle's hills.
Front wheels swivel or lock in place for running.
Quick-release tires for an extra small fold.
Huge canopies with peekaboo windows and side ventilation panels.
Tall padded seats with a full recline (seats are much taller then BOB).
Large under seat storage basket and seat back mesh storage.
Rear parking brake.
100 lb. weight capacity on double jogging stroller.
Compare to BOB, Mountain Buggy, Bumbleride, Valco
