Family marketplace
Give children’s items a second life
Children grow quickly and family needs change. Camelia’s marketplace lets parents post listings to offer, give away or look for children’s items within the community.
Listings created by families
A listing can describe an item, its condition, category, city and asking price if it is for sale. Photos and an accurate description help other parents understand what is being offered.
Camelia connects users; availability, condition, payment and collection arrangements are agreed directly between them.
Check an item before agreeing
Ask about the item’s age, condition, history and missing parts. For products related to child safety or health, check the manufacturer’s guidance and current official recommendations.
Agree on a safe collection place and never post identity documents or sensitive personal information in a public listing.
Local and practical exchange
A stroller, clothes or other useful item may help another family. Listings depend on active posts and may be changed or removed at any time.
The marketplace is part of Camelia alongside parent resources and community features.
Prices for second-hand children’s items
Between families, a well-kept second-hand item often trades at 30% to 60% of its new price, depending on age, rarity and condition. A recently bought, lightly used stroller sits near the top of the range; a travel cot a few years old, near the bottom. These benchmarks are indicative: each listing shows condition and city, and the price is discussed directly between families.
Many listings are giveaways too: clothes, toys or still-usable equipment offered free to other families. Giving avoids waste and directly helps families nearby.
Safety: what to check before buying second-hand
Some products call for extra care. For a car seat: no visible signs of impact, complete harness, no outstanding manufacturer recall, and respect for the expiry date often printed on the shell. For a baby cot: intact, correctly spaced bars and a firm, snugly fitting mattress. For a stroller: brakes, bar and harness in good condition.
In every case, ask the real age of the product, its history and any missing parts, and check the manufacturer’s guidance before any purchase intended for your child’s safety. A serious seller answers these questions without hesitation.
Listings and trust: good reflexes
Prefer a hand-over in a public place or at home, ideally during the day. Inspect the item at hand-over and do not transfer money before seeing the product if the transaction is remote. Never share identity documents or sensitive bank details in a listing conversation.
If a listing looks doubtful, report it from the app so the team can review it. The marketplace is a space between families: ordinary caution applies as anywhere else.
