Used cots in Augusta typically sell for $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 Augusta
Augusta sits on the river at the state line and is known worldwide for a golf tournament held here each April, alongside a substantial military installation and a growing cybersecurity sector built around it.
Military and cyber postings move complete households on fixed cycles. Golf equipment circulates here far more than in comparable cities, and tournament week produces its own annual turnover of rental furnishings.
Tournament week transforms the city entirely — accommodation, traffic and parking all change — so avoid it if you can. The rest of the year driving and parking are both easy.
Augusta, in Georgia, has around 200,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Atlanta, Macon and New York are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Augusta
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid wood construction with no splits
- Adjustable base heights working properly
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
- 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.
- Check the mattress base and the slats for cracks, and confirm the drop-side or height adjustment still locks properly.

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.
