All I can do is shake my head. But you WILL find another bargain priced (good) crib if you give it some time.

My brother ordered a fancy-shmancy EXPENSIVE new crib that wasn't even delivered before the baby (Baby came early ) AND after they did get it (not long after) my SIL (to be) said they hardly ever even used it in those first few months. baby didn't want the crib, she wanted mom and dad's room.

I am sorry you missed out on the $40 one though, especially if it is what you really liked.
