So, I have searched high and low for our crib bedding. Looking through hundreds of different themes, etc. We painted the room BEFORE we bought the bedding (probably not the brightest idea). After days and days AND days of searching I ran across an eBay listing for some bedding that would fit perfectly with the color we chose for the walls. Usually on eBay I stick to the 'Buy it Now' option, but I saw the seller had the bedding I wanted for $99.99 Buy it Now and $49.99 on auction (with 1 bid).
So, I stuck it out a few days to see if it was going to go any higher and when the auction came close to ending it still had the one bid. At the 1 minute mark I placed a bid for $60.00 and to my excitement it only increased the auction amount to $50.99 (meaning the previous bidder had ONLY bid $49.99, tops). So, I was able to find the perfect bedding for $50.99 brand new (+ shipping). I then looked on several other websites and found the exact same bedding at a cost of anywhere from $150 to $200.
My suggestion would be to find the bedding you want, find out the exact name of it and then type it in the ebay search bar. The one we purchased was brand new, so you should be able to find plenty of cute styles brand new AND if you want to save money, stick to going auction style.
This is the actual eBay store I purchased my bedding from. The picture of what we bought is above. Isn't it adorable? :) It's a 9 piece set ... now I just have to try and talk myself out of buying all the accessories OR finding a way to get them 'on the cheap'. If I find a way, I'll let you guys know first!

good deal! That bedding would have looked so cute in our baby's room, but I got some free bedding that was alright. Can't beat free! Oh, was going to tell you. I read about crib bumpers being a suffocation hazard. I bought a mesh bumper to keep her lil' limbs in, works great!
Yes - you definitely can't beat free! Thanks so much for the tip on the mesh bumper, I'll definitely have to look into that!
