Selling a bunk bed in Durham
Durham has a cathedral and castle on a peninsula inside a loop of the Wear that together form a World Heritage Site, and a collegiate university that dominates the city. The miners’ gala each July is one of the largest trade union gatherings in Europe.
The peninsula is steep, cobbled and largely closed to vehicles, so arrange anything large for outside it. The station is above the city and the walk down is steep.
The peninsula is steep, cobbled and closed to vehicles for most of the day. Establish where a vehicle can stop and how far the carry is before agreeing to anything large.
Durham, in England, has around 48,000 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.

What bunk beds are worth
What lifts the price
- Intact guard rails on the top bunk
- Designs that split into two single beds
What pulls it down
- Missing or damaged guard rails
- Particleboard construction
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm the guard rails are present and fit properly
- Check whether it splits into two singles
Getting it ready
- Find every bolt, allen key and connector. A bunk bed missing its fixings is close to unsellable, and replacements are rarely a simple match.
- Measure the mattress spaces and note whether mattresses are included — buyers assume nothing here.

- Whether it splits into two single beds
- Whether all bolts, the ladder and the guard rails are present, and whether mattresses are included
State the material, the mattress size and whether it splits: “Solid Pine Bunk Bed, 3ft Single, Splits into 2 Beds”. The splitting feature is a genuine search and doubles the audience, because some buyers want two separate beds later. Include the make if it is a known one.
