Used bed frames in Tempe typically sell for $54 to $335. Bed frames sell on size and whether they can be dismantled, and the fastest way to lose the sale is not knowing whether you still have the fittings.
Selling a bed frame in Tempe
The university is enormous relative to the city and clears student housing each May, which is overwhelmingly the dominant cycle. Bikes, desks and furniture move in real volume at that point.
The light rail runs through the city and campus and is genuinely useful for anything portable. Campus parking is difficult, so agree a meeting point off it for anything large.
In the May move-out weeks, look at the item in person if you can. The student market clears in a few days here and speed is precisely when checking gets skipped.
Tempe, in Arizona, has around 182,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

- The headboard detail, and any damage or repair
Put in the description
- Material: solid wood, veneer, metal or upholstered

Collection only. Dismantle it before the buyer arrives if you can, and tape the fittings in a labelled bag to a rail — it makes the handover smooth and gets you a good rating.
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.
