E.S.
I bought mine used. I couldn't afford it any other way... so believe me, someone out there will be happy to buy it from you. I had to buy new accessories, of course, but that was no big deal and just got them from the hospital.
Hey ladies~ I have a Medela pump n style breastpump that I've used for a couple years. Is it ok to try and sell it? It has the warning on that says it should only be used by one woman...but if I don't sell it, what do I do with it now that I'm not using it any more? Just curious as to your thoughts. Thanks!
Thank you soo much ladies...based upon your responses, I sold the pump today on Craigslist to a mom-to-be! She was sooo appreciative since the price of a new one is several hundred dollars. Thank you for giving me the assurance I needed. I love mamasource!

Absolutely! Sell it, and don't worry about the one woman thing...it is a marketing ploy - take it from me...I'm a marketing exec.
The pumps are a closed system, milk doesn't go into the pump as you know, so the new user just needs to buy new tubing and flanges, etc.
Also, if you have a hard time selling it for any reason, consider donating it to a doula or birth coach or going to a la leche league meeting and offering it to somebody there - you'll be amazed at how many people would want it.
I bought my second pump on e-bay and got the accessories from the hospital. I think the tubing and stuff that touches is what needs to be new, the pump is just a machine.
I sold mine on ebay!! I'd do it. I also borrowed one from a friend. As long as it's sanitized, no biggie
I sold my Medela on e-bay for more than I paid for it. (because I got a great online deal)
I had a lot of extras, but also a pair of new tubes (which don't cost that much). Do it! I really wanted to burn it, but hey I made money instead! ;-)
I sold mine too and advised the person to buy all new tubing I also loaned mine out and had the person buy the tubing stuff so it's fine-and who doesn't need the money?
i hd the same one and used it only a short time. i was able to pass it on to a close friend. bus as for selling it to a stranger you may put that they need to buy the parts that go on the breast.
