Gearing Up for Baby!

Is the cost of your baby gear getting out of hand? That’s exactly how local Austin entrepreneur, Jeff Chambers, felt when he and his wife were buying for their baby. That’s why he started BabysList, an online store where you can buy, sell, and swap gently used or brand new baby clothing, toys, and gear.
By going online to BabysList.com, you can browse baby gear for great prices in the Austin area or from all across Texas and the United States. All you have to do is create a free profile on the site and you’re ready to start buying and selling. It’s also a great way to make a little extra money while getting rid of baby items you don’t use anymore. Spread the word, there’s a new “list” in town, BabysList.com.
