Would you

I would by maternity clothing (because your only in them a few months and the stuff in the shops locally is often frumpy crappy stuff) and perhaps smaller baby clothes, newborn and 0-3 perhaps a little 3-6 type thing as they just grow so darn quickly. Once they stopped growing quite so much I think I'd start buying new but yes I'd buy second hand, just give it a good wash/iron once you get it (even if the advert says freshly washed for posting type thing!). Grab a bargain girl, I love ebay!!
I would, and I have.......I've bought a few bundles of newborn and 0-3 stuff, as she'll prob only be in it 5 minutes! Doesn't bother me buying/ wearing second hand, I also sell all my old stuff on ebay.
I got a bag of newborn sleepwear off ebay and it looks like its never been worn....the baby it was originally bought for obviously only wore it for 5 minutes too!
Libby wil have a mix of new & second hand......cos I love a good bargain!

I got some really nice stuff off ebay the other day, but it was all brand new with tags, still a massive bargain though!
I'm not worried about buying secondhand though, most of those items will have hardly been worn. I've had my eye on quite a few of those bundles, especially the more 'designer' stuff which I would never waste money on otherwise!

Yes and I have already!
As with Em, I've just washed them!
When I had B&T, I spent a fortune on new baby clothes, probably only worn once, ebay is a God send after you've made the mistake once before and know that they're only worn for 5 mins!
It's not as if newborn babies can roll around in mud!
As someone said above though,probably above 6-9 months, I will prob be buying new and I will prob sell the items back on ebay!

I agree they do seem to have some bargains on Ebay. I have bought a couple of maternity bits on there... a pair of Red Herring cropped trousers for £5.. bargain. 
Not sure I'd buy baby clothes off Ebay but maybe I would if they were BNWT.

I definately would.
I have sold some good baby clothing stuff on ebay - Like Budge says they aren't in the clothes for long. After hanging on to daughters stuff for 4 years when son came along I decided to sell her 0-3, 3-6 month things and let me tell you they were like new (some things were new and not off then hanger)
Anyway a bundle sold for something like 2.00 and whoever got it had a fab bargain.
Go for it girl I say!!

I bought a box of boy's clothes newborn - 3mths from e-bay and it was amazing---the women who sent it is a superstar
The box was massive and took me a good hour to unpack - 25 little shortsleeve gros,loads of nice basics, hats, socks, shoes, 11 pairs of jeans,2 snowsuits etc etc etc £30
( icl p+p)
I have re-washed the lot but tbh I didn't need to, only thing is Isaac doesn't quite fit any of it yet but he will and I doubt i'll have to buy much till he's 6mths at least....choose seller carefully and go for it

I think buying second hand clothes for baby is a great idea, I would accept offof family and friends, ebay is no different, if you receive the items and they don't look/feel right, don't put them on baby, otherwise they are only clothes and will wash and recycling is all good, remember to sell them on afterwards, happy bargain hunting
