Second-hand baby & kids in York typically sells for £3 to £400 (about $4 to $540). Safety standards move on and equipment made to a superseded one loses its market almost entirely, whatever condition it is in. Anything subject to a recall is worth nothing and should not be resold at any price.

Buying baby & kids in York
York is a walled medieval city with a minster at its centre and a railway history that gave it the national museum of the subject. Tourism dominates the centre and a large university sits just outside it, and the chocolate industry that once defined the city is still partly here.
Anything that carries a child needs its history known, and that means asking the person who used it rather than reading a description. Meeting face to face is the only way to put those questions and judge the answers, which is why this trade stays close to home.
What to check in person
Find the date stamp moulded into the plastic and work out the real age, since these items have expiry dates that owners forget and buyers rarely ask about. Check every fabric part comes off for washing and is actually all there.
Collecting it in York
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The walled centre is largely pedestrianised with severe vehicle restrictions, so arrange anything large for outside the walls. The city is flat and cycling is easy, which makes small handovers simple.
Selling your baby & kids in York free
The university clears student housing every June, and the tourism economy turns over guesthouse and rental furnishings on a commercial cycle. The old housing stock brings genuinely old furniture with it.
Wash every removable cover and let it dry properly before anybody sees it, because parents buy on how clean a thing looks above almost anything else. Photograph the underside and the seat back, which is where buyers expect a seller to be hiding wear. Steady all year; second-hand supply rises as each cohort outgrows a stage.
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
