There’s one thing about parenthood which makes life unpredictable – that you might buy baby or maternal products and end up not using them. For example, I bought an expensive breast-pump while I was pregnant as I saw myself breastfeeding Hannah big time. However, I was to discover later that I could not produce sufficient milk for Hannah let alone express my milk.
I found out that there was an online portal called Singapore Motherhood created just for local mothers and amongst other things, we could buy and sell stuff through it. I managed to sell off my preloved breast-pump successfully to another mother who needed it. There are also other portals which do the same thing but Singapore Motherhood has a higher number of users.
Recently, we needed another playpen and high chair to be left at Yang’s parents home as the previous set has been shifted to Hannah’s nanny’s place. I posted up a thread (see here) at the ‘Want to Buy’ forum in search for these items and the response was good. Some sellers were so keen in their offers that they threw in free delivery as well while other sellers prefer self-collection at their homes.
After comparing the attractive offers laid at my door, I sealed the deal with two mothers. Both were willing to deliver their goods to us. The mother who sold me her Ikea high chair even went to the extent of replacing the stained safety belt at no extra cost! She spent another $5 just doing so. Wow.
