How Much Should You Pay for Used Cloth Diapers?

August 27, 2018 by Anne Marie 3 Comments

How much should you pay for used cloth diapers? How much should you expect to get for them if you're the seller? Buyers want deals and sellers want fair value, so knowing the re-sale value is very important.

June 17, 2018 by Anne Marie Leave a Comment

Over the years, I've been asked this a lot: "I'd love to try cloth but can't afford it. Is there any way to get free ones to try out?" I know the upfront cost can seem daunting. When your choices are a cheap pack of disposables for $7 or a starter stash of cloth for $50 or $75, it's easy to see why families keep opting for throw-aways week after week.
