Used cots in Coquitlam typically sell for C$75 to C$375 (about $54 to $270). Cots sell well because they are bulky to buy new and used only briefly, but buyers check one thing first: whether every fixing and instruction is present so they can rebuild it safely.
Selling a cot in Coquitlam
Coquitlam sits at the eastern end of the region where the valley narrows, with mountains directly behind it and a rapid transit extension that arrived only recently and changed how the city works. It is one of a cluster of three cities that function together.
New transit-oriented housing has brought a wave of households furnishing from scratch, and the mountains behind the city mean outdoor equipment turns over on a real seasonal cycle.
The rapid transit stations are the easiest meeting points and have made small handovers far simpler here than they used to be. The city climbs towards the mountains, so for anything heavy confirm whether there are steps up to the door.
Coquitlam, in British Columbia, has around 150,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Coquitlam
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
- Solid wood construction with no splits
What pulls it down
- Bite marks and splintering along the top rails
- Older cots not meeting current spacing standards
Working out what yours is worth
- Bag every bolt and fitting with the cot when dismantling
- Inspect the top rails for bite damage and splinters
Getting it ready
- Check the mattress base and the slats for cracks, and confirm the drop-side or height adjustment still locks properly.
- Measure the mattress size it takes, since buyers need to know whether their existing mattress fits.

Put in the description
- Cot or cot bed, and the mattress size in centimetres
- Whether a mattress is included, and its age and condition
Dismantle it before collection if you can, and keep the fixings in a labelled bag taped to a rail. That single step makes the handover smooth and is the sort of thing buyers remember when they rate you.
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.
