Selling a cot in Tucson
Tucson combines a large university with a substantial retired and seasonal population, which is an unusual mix. Bikes do exceptionally well because the city is flat and the riding season effectively never ends.
Two cycles overlap here: students on the academic year, and seasonal residents who arrive for the winter and leave in spring. The spring departures are the better buying window of the two.
Flat, gridded and easy to drive, with plenty of parking. From June to September handovers happen early or late for the same reason they do in Phoenix, and shaded meeting points are worth naming.
Tucson, in Arizona, has around 545,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Phoenix, Mesa and Chandler are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Tucson
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
- Adjustable base heights working properly
What pulls it down
- Missing fittings, which make reassembly impossible
- Bite marks and splintering along the top rails
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
- 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.
