Used cot beds in Kota typically sell for ₹3,600 to ₹8,000 (about $38 to $84). Cot beds last far longer than cots because they convert to a toddler bed, which is exactly why buyers pay more for them.
Selling a cot bed in Kota
Kota is India’s coaching capital, where well over a hundred thousand students arrive each year to prepare for engineering and medical entrance examinations. Almost no other city in India has a second-hand market so completely defined by a single population.
The examination calendar is the whole story. Students arrive together and leave together, and the departure weeks put an extraordinary volume of books, desks, cycles and bedding onto the market at once, at the lowest prices of the year.
Buy in the departure weeks if you can, and check editions on any study material. Volume is enormous then and prices are the lowest of the year, but an outdated edition is a poor bargain at any price.
Kota, in Rajasthan, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kota
India Post, Delhivery and DTDC all offer nationwide coverage, and courier cost varies sharply between metros and smaller towns.

Type, material and mattress size: “Solid Pine Cot Bed, Converts to Toddler Bed, 140x70cm with Mattress”. “Converts” belongs in the title because it is the whole reason a cot bed is worth more. Say whether the conversion parts are included, since without them it is just a cot.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cot bed in Kota?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. The coaching districts and their hostels are concentrated in a few areas, which makes collecting several items in one trip entirely practical. Most handovers are arranged on foot or by two-wheeler.
Are all the fittings there?
Count them against the instructions. Missing bolts are the main reason a cot sale falls through at collection.
