Shop at bargain sites. EBay is a good place to start looking for cheap baby cribs. EBay will list a result of both new and used cribs. Most prices are much cheaper than purchasing the same item on name-brand sites.

2
Compare prices at Shopping.com. Shopping.com will allow you to compare prices of cheap baby cribs as well as read product reviews from consumers. This particular site pulls its results from other sites such as Wal-Mart, Target, eBay, Buy.com, Amazon.com, etc.

Go to a local flea market. At flea markets, most people are selling items that are still in good shape for which they no longer have use. The great thing about flea markets is that they may negotiate an even better price than the low price already listed on the item.

4
Find a Freecycle Network group in your area. Freecycle Network is an organization that allows people to pass their gently used items on to someone who may need them rather than throwing the item away. People in need may request items, such as baby cribs, and if someone has that particular item, arrangements are made to pick up the item. The great thing about Freecycle Network is that everything is completely free and it is against the law to offer money or sale items. See the Resources section for a link to their website.
