Used cots in Stevenage typically sell for £40 to £200 (about $54 to $270). Cots are safety equipment with a long usable life, so buyers check standards and fittings before they look at condition.
Selling a cot in Stevenage
Stevenage was the first new town designated after the war and has the first pedestrianised town centre in the country, along with a substantial aerospace and satellite manufacturing presence that has been here for decades.
The aerospace and satellite works run projects that last years and then end, so households arrive together and leave together rather than trickling. The original new-town housing is now reaching its second and third owners, which is bringing genuinely mid-century furniture onto the market.
The cycleway network runs underneath the roads rather than beside them, so a route that looks direct on a map can mean carrying something up a ramp at the far end. Ask which neighbourhood centre is nearest and aim for that.
Stevenage, in England, has around 88,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Stevenage

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- Current safety standard labels intact
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
What pulls it down
- Missing fittings, which make reassembly impossible
- Bite marks and splintering along the top rails
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 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.
