Selling a pram in San Francisco
Tech employment cycles and the cost of living together produce unusually high turnover, and people leaving the city almost always sell rather than ship. Home office equipment appears in quantity whenever hiring slows.
Parking is the hardest part of any collection here and the hills are not a joke on a bike. Establish which floor, whether there is a lift, and where a vehicle can legally stop, before agreeing anything larger than a box.
Establish where a vehicle can legally stop before you agree to collect anything large. Between the hills, the permit zones and the lack of lifts, access is the hard part of almost every sale here.
San Francisco, in California, has around 810,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What prams are worth
What lifts the price
- Clean, unfaded fabrics that have been washed
- Original raincover, basket and instructions
What pulls it down
- Missing adapters, which are model-specific and costly
- Stained or sun-faded fabrics
Working out what yours is worth
- Fold and unfold it several times to confirm the mechanism is clean
- Wash the fabrics and photograph them dry in daylight
Getting it ready
- Wash the fabrics if they are removable, and wipe down the frame. Baby equipment is judged on cleanliness more harshly than anything else.
- Fold and unfold it several times to confirm the mechanism latches properly, and test the brake on a slope.

Consistently strong, with demand steady all year. Recognised brands sell within days; unbranded travel systems take much longer and sell for little.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
