 "This is an 1800's medical instrument made of glass and rubber. It was used
by mothers to extract breastmilk. The box has nice graphics and both the box
and the instrument are in good condition." >>

I peeked at this out of curiousity, and then did a search on breast
pumps...and am shocked how many people are selling and bidding on used breast
pumps, many of which should NOT be a shared item.  There were many advertised
as new...and a variety of brands, including some of the better ones. Its one
thing to use a used breast pump that belonged to someone you know really
well,,,but one from a total stranger. I can't imagine it. Its helped clue me
in on educating woman on not using a used pump. (unless the pump is designed
for multiple users, like hospital grade ones where each woman has a new kit.)
