Used cots in Dudley 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 Dudley
Dudley sits at the heart of the Black Country with a castle and zoo on a limestone hill above it, a canal system running through caverns beneath, and a glass-making history in the surrounding villages that produced work of real quality.
Industrial closure left a great deal of tooling and genuinely good glassware in private hands. Family housing turns over within the district rather than out of it.
The town is built on and around a hill, so for anything heavy establish the approach rather than only the address. Parking is manageable and the surrounding area is easy to drive in.
Dudley, in England, has around 80,000 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 Dudley
Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
- Adjustable base heights working properly
What pulls it down
- Older cots not meeting current spacing standards
- Drop-side designs, which are no longer recommended
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
- Find or download the assembly instructions, and gather every bolt, allen key and fixing. A cot missing fixings is close to unsellable.
- Check the mattress base and the slats for cracks, and confirm the drop-side or height adjustment still locks properly.

- Any chew marks on the rails, which are extremely common and should be shown rather than hidden
Put in the description
- Whether all fixings and the instructions are present
- Material, and whether the height adjusts or a side drops
Steady all year. Cot beds sell faster than plain cots because they last longer, and solid wood outsells board.
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.
