I’m super impressed by this secondhand deal that Becky scored this week – she picked up a Bob Duallie Stroller from the Jack and Jill Consignment sale (Lynnwood, Washington) for just $20. This is an AMAZING deal – they retail new for $400 – $500 (see them on Amazon here –> BOB Revolution SE Duallie Stroller, Orange)
I’d say she easily saved herself $450 – because she doesn’t have the insane tax on the big purchase either! And when she goes to resell it, I think she could easily get $100 – $200 for it.
This is NOT the first time we’ve had readers find BOB strollers secondhand, Darcy found a Bob Stroller with a bunch of accessories at a consignment sale for $75. We thought that was a good deal, but Becky really blew it out of the water with this one!
Secondhand Sunday is a series I’m doing through to feature deals that readers are finding secondhand – either at a thrift shop, garage sale or on Craigslist. It’s to encourage us all to consider secondhand purchases when we try to save money. Becky will get a $10 Amazon gift card for sending in her secondhand treasure!
Since we started this series, here are some of the secondhand treasures we’ve featured:
- Gucci purse just $14.99, retails for $1,000
- Keurig coffee machine, only $1 at garage sale, received a new one from Keurig (reg. $180)
- Bought old violin for $5, resold for $125!
- Chicco Double Stroller $40, valued at $299
- A FREE Baby Grand Piano valued at $1,000
- Beth saves 97% off a KitchenAid Professional Mixer
- Seneca saves 99% off a Harveys Seatbelt Designer Purse
- Kristyle saved more than $160 off a Bissell Spotbot
Send in your secondhand treasures and if I feature your score here on the blog, you’ll get a $10 Amazon gift card!
- I’ll be featuring one secondhand score each Sunday
- If I feature your thrift-store or garage sale treasure here on the blog you’ll get a $10 Amazon gift card!
- Please email me a photo at thehive@queenbeetoday.com – include in the email a short description of what you found secondhand, what you paid for it and what you think it retails for. Use subject line Secondhand Treasure when you send the email.
- Try to take a photo that is not blurry and is in good light (try natural light, no flash, if possible). The better your photo the more likely it will be to make it on the site. People want to see what you got!
- If you bought something secondhand and restored it or improved it somehow – I’d love before and after photos!
I’d love to hear – what sort of furniture have you scored for FREE or cheap on Craigslist or at garage sales?!

Definitely a good deal but the info isn’t accurate on the price. The one she got is an older BOB with a fixed front wheel and the one you are showing as comparison is a duallie with a moveable front wheel. There is quite a price difference between these. The moveable front wheel is around $450 and the fixed front wheel aren’t even sold anymore but on craigslist you can get them for about $100 or so. The fixed front wheel is designed for running distances and not having to make tight turns (if you have to make tight turns you literally have to pick up the front of the stroller and maneuver it with the back two wheels.) thus the huge difference in price. Still a great deal though!

Oh yeah, I’m super jealous! Not only have I been looking for a stroller just like this, but I was at THAT sale!! I’m sure it was long gone by the time I made it to the sale. 😉 Congrats, Becky – awesome find!
