My son loved it until he outgrew it. Even now it is in front of his crib and sometimes the lights and music put him to sleep. Considering the hard use mine went through and still works perfectly and looks new, I would say that half the retail value would be fair, though I would try to pay less ;-) (BTW The fabric is VERY easy to clean! It slips right off!) Also you might want to buy some rechargeable D batteries as all the kids toys seem to take that size. I have a second hand one so it was free *lol*.

The big one was about $70, and was invaluable. The small one I didn't use so much. I would buy one used, but make sure to remove the cover and wash and disinfect the entire swing. I didn't do so well with a boppy. I'm a little overweight, and they just didn't fit well for me. I would not buy a used boppy. In fact, if you can sew, you could probably make your own fairly easily for much less money. Seems like they were around $20 when I was pregnant 4 years ago.
