The 3 Power Wheels trucks I've scored in the past 10 days cost me $175. I scrubbed them down, took some nice photos and put them back on the same Craigslist category I got them from. The first one sold for $200 in less than 3 hours after I posted it.

I'm going in an hour to pick up another crib, stroller and kids bike. They're asking $100. I'll offer $50 and probably get it for $75. Clean it up and put it back on CL.
I used to buy storage units and sell the stuff in them. There was a woman that went to the auctions looking for units with baby stuff and would offer to buy any that you found. She had three stores that sold nothing but second hand baby clothes and items. Babies grow so fast a lot of parents don't want to spend a lot of money on something their kid is going to outgrow in a month so they love second hand stuff that is of good quality.
