used baby stuff, opinions please

Due to health reasons my Drs n I have agreed on an induction date. Its only 95days away.  I have been looking at  new baby stuff, I can't find anything I like. This is my 4th n final babe. My 3rd girl. I  have found one outfit I like n one blanket so as of this moment it's all she has. I have never had a baby shower and doubt anyone will throw me one now either. I'm freaking out. I am a Craigslist  follower, n love thrift store shopping. Ive always insisted my newborns have new stuff. This time around tho all the stuff I find I do like is used. So opinions on what's ok to get used or not please.

I really wouldn't do Craig's list just for the fact that people are terrible and can do terrible things to baby stuff.. But its my first and I'm going to a secondhand shop where they check everything first. Plus, some things online aren't up to code on safety. Stores have to be, typically.

I've bought everything 2nd hand. But bought cot, moses basket, & mattresses brand new never know who slept/had on them. Everything can be washed and cleaned so I don't see the problem

I am having my 4th and finally baby on march 5th. My first son. I am buying things off of ceaigslist and facebook pages. Only thing i think you should buy new is a car seat. You never know if it has been in a wreck and sadly some people are not honest. Just make sure whatever you buy used needs to be cleaned really good before baby can have it.. good luck and congrats on your lil girl
