Used cot beds in Rockhampton typically sell for A$96 to A$480 (about $67 to $335). Cot beds are worth more than cots because they last years longer, so make the conversion explicit — and confirm you have every fitting needed to do it.
Selling a cot bed in Rockhampton
Rockhampton sits on the Tropic of Capricorn and calls itself the beef capital, which is not marketing: the surrounding country is cattle and the saleyards are a real part of the local economy. It is a working regional centre rather than a coastal one, and what circulates here reflects that.
Agricultural and industrial work replaces equipment on a service life rather than a fashion cycle, so tools and trailers here are typically sold because they have been upgraded rather than because they have failed.
On a trailer, check the lights, the coupling and the tyres before the paint. Those are the parts that make it legal to tow and they are the ones most often quietly neglected on a working trailer.
Rockhampton, in Queensland, has around 80,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Rockhampton
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.

Dismantle it before collection and tape the fittings in a labelled bag to a rail. Include the instructions in the bag — it is a small courtesy buyers consistently mention in ratings.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cot bed in Rockhampton?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. Utes and trailers are ordinary here, so moving something large is rarely the obstacle it is elsewhere. The city sits either side of the river, so agree which side before you agree a time.
Are all the fittings there?
Count them against the instructions. Missing bolts are the main reason a cot sale falls through at collection.
