Oh, and here are a few of the places that I look to find used items. You will probably have to do a little more looking around to find quality used items, and like I said, have some patience, but I personally like the challenge and love the accomplishment I feel when I find just what I am looking for.
Ebay (obviously)
Craigslist
Freecycle
Half.com - a great place to buy used books! I don't think I'll ever buy a book new again!
Amazon
Garage Sales - I am SO excited for garage sale season to start! I found some great stuff last year!
Thrift stores - Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc.
A great place for kids clothes is Once Upon a Child, if you have one in your area.
There are also lots of great online boards where you can buy and sell used items. Two that I frequent regularly are DiaperSwappers.com and DiaperPin.com. They both have FSOT (For Sale or Trade) boards where you can find all kinds of things, not just cloth diapers. :)
And, for those of you who live in my area, there is a women's consignment store in Granger called 2nd Time Around. I've actually never been there, but plan to go this summer after the baby is born.
I would love to hear your favorite places for finding great used items!! Please share!
