Used cots in Dundee typically sell for £40 to £200 (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 Dundee
Dundee was built on jute, jam and journalism and has reinvented itself around a design museum on the waterfront, two universities and a video games industry that started here and remains significant. The waterfront redevelopment has changed the city entirely.
Two universities clear student housing each June, and the games and design sector moves people on project cycles. Home-office and computing equipment turns over faster here than the city’s size would suggest.
The waterfront and the city square are the landmarks everyone uses and the centre is compact. The city climbs steeply away from the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy.
Dundee, in Scotland, has around 148,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dundee

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- Current safety standard labels intact
- Solid wood construction with no splits
What pulls it down
- Missing fittings, which make reassembly impossible
- Older cots not meeting current spacing standards
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the bar spacing and safety label
- Inspect the top rails for bite damage and splinters
Getting it ready
- Find or download the assembly instructions, and gather every bolt, allen key and fixing. A cot missing fixings is close to unsellable.
- Measure the mattress size it takes, since buyers need to know whether their existing mattress fits.

Put in the description
- Whether a mattress is included, and its age and condition
- Whether all fixings and the instructions are present
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.
