Children grow out of things so quickly that you often find yourself having to buy new clothes and new toys. As soon as I find a cute outfit for Little Man he seems to outgrow it. I find myself always having to buy new things, but I hate spending all that money. One alternative that I recently became aware of is TradingCradles.com. Trading Cradles is an online marketplace where parents can buy and sell baby items locally as their little ones get bigger and bigger. You can buy and sell gently used baby gear, including used strollers, clothes, toys, high chairs, and cribs

Rather then paying all those fees for eBay and other services you can list your baby products for free on Trading Cradles. It is very easy to post a listing, you can post an image and type a few words, in 30 seconds and your ad is ready! All ads are also parent approved so you can sell and buy worry free.



How do I buy something?
Select the location that’s closest to you, and then select a category to browse the ads available or do a search from the top of the website. Once you find something you are interested in purchasing send an email to the seller by copying the reply to email address. Once the seller responds you can make arrangements to complete the transaction.

How do I sell something?
Select the location closest to you and then select a category to post your ad to. You will then need to complete the short ad form which includes title, your exact location, details, price and picture. You can then preview your ad and submit it for approval.  Once your ad is approved, it will be active on the website and potential buyers will contact you via the security generated email which forwards to your email. Once you find the right buyer you can make arrangements to complete the transaction. It is recommend that you sell things locally and accept cash only.

How long does my ad stay active?
For Sale ads stay active for 15 days from the time they are approved.

Is my email kept private?
Yes, your email is kept private they never publish it anywhere on the website. They generate a security email that forwards to your personal email.

I have a few things that I need to sell so I created a post, it was very simple and within a minute I was able to submit my travel system to sell. I received an email instantly saying that they received my post and will review it. Within 15 minutes of submitting my post I received a second email saying my post was approved and can now be viewed on their website, I checked out the website and there was my post! I love how easy it was that when it does sell I do not need to pay a commission. I will definitely be using their services more often.
