Selling a double seat Baby Jogger City Select, with one bassinet attachment, one rain cover and one sheepskin liner.
Bought new in 2012, second seat purchased 2014. Have cleaned the whole thing to my own borderline OCD standards and it almost looks like new except for some minor sun fade on one hood.
This is a fabulous model. We loved it so much, walked everywhere with it. It's so slim it even fits in most shops. Kids loved the different seat configurations. Bassinet got loads of use for overnight trips and day sleeps. Total purchase price for all gear was $1400ish. Selling for $750
