Can anybody help me here? I brought a bassinet on Trade Me. It stated it as being in 'good condition'. Upon getting it home, I release it has several areas with spots of black mould. So I tried my best to remove it. I used 2 natural stains removers and soaks, I used Sard Wonder Soap and Touvit Forte. And still, these spots remain. I have come to accept, I think I've done all I can and those spots aren't going anywhere. I don't like my chances of getting a refund. As seller isn't replying to my really polite emails. Does anyone know, is there anywhere in NZ where I could maybe buy a replacement bassinet cover? As I feel like, 1. I don't want to try and on sell this bassinet, as I think it would be irresponsible to sell it with a cover with black mould. The fact someone sold it to me annoys me. 2. If I can find a replacement cover, problem solved and I won't feel so bad about wasting $37. Any advice would be greatly appreciated  -------------

Wow that's totally annoying, but it is TM. If it is white use bleach. If it is a common one you should be able to get a replacement one but it may not be worth it. $37 is a cheep buy but if you need to buy a cover for $50-60+ then it would be cheaper to buy a cot since you will only get 3-6mths use from it. I would sell it on TM & state the issue & photo it & then buy a cot. |

I just seems like unfair to sell someone a bassinet with that mould on it. But I guess if someone was willing to buy it and could get rid of the mould it would be ok. But how much would I ask for it? I'd definitely be losing money on it, which is sad. As we can't afford to throw away money on 1 low income. -------------

If it was me I would just go & take it back & get my money back. If you feel you can not do that I would put it on TM for what you paid for it & just say "I bought this off TM it has a bit of mold on it that the new owner maybe able to clean off..I no longer need it so I am selling it. Put photos of it to show the mold. |

I don't think someone would want to pay $37 for a bassinet with mould on it though. As there was a really good bassinet for buy now of $35 that I missed out on last week and there was nothing wrong with it at all. -------------

when it comes to TM it can be the luck of the draw, it is so annoying when people misled. I bought a cot of TM, have bought several, but the one I first bought for $200 was a piece of crap so I refused to pay for it, she was not happy but she had not stated the faults even when I asked all the questions. What kind of bassinet is it, is there another one listed so I can see what the cover looks like...someone might have some ideas. |

| You can always buy some cheap fabric and cover it |

That would've been an option believe me, if I owned a sewing machine. Thankfully the seller has replied and is going to refund the $37. She was moving house over the weekend, so couldn't reply. I did manage to find a bassinet, without a stand for $5 from a secondhand place though and can get a stand from DF's Mum. So problems solved. Though life would be simpler if they sold replacement covers in NZ. I could only find them in UK and USA. -------------

| Thats good you got a refund and got sorted in the end. I wouldnt onsell the bassinet from tm though black mould is very dangerous, especially in a babys bassinet, you wouldnt want any little baby breathing that in. |
