Used cots in Corpus Christi typically sell for $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 Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi is a Gulf port and refining city on a bay, with a naval air station, a long barrier island beyond it and a wind that blows almost constantly. Hurricane season is a real annual consideration rather than a theoretical one.
Naval postings move complete households on fixed cycles, and refinery work runs on shutdown and contract schedules. Storm seasons force periodic replacement of outdoor and ground-floor contents.
Driving is assumed and the bay makes routes longer than the map suggests. Wind here is constant, which genuinely matters for anything being loaded onto an open trailer.
Corpus Christi, in Texas, has around 317,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Houston, San Antonio and Dallas are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Corpus Christi
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

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
- 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.
Photograph
- The fixings, allen key and instructions laid out together
- Any chew marks on the rails, which are extremely common and should be shown rather than hidden
Put in the description
- Whether a mattress is included, and its age and condition
- Material, and whether the height adjusts or a side drops
Type and mattress size: “Solid Pine Cot Bed with Mattress, 140x70cm”. A cot bed converts to a toddler bed and is worth more than a plain cot, so make the distinction clear. State whether a mattress is included, because that is a significant part of the value.
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.
