Used cot beds in Madurai typically sell for ₹6,500 to ₹32,000 (about $67 to $335). 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 Madurai
Madurai is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, built around its temple, with a strong traditional trade in textiles and brass. It is hot for most of the year and commerce here follows long-established patterns.
Household turnover is slower and more settled than in the newer industrial cities, so what appears is usually a genuine clear-out. Heat is severe from March onwards and shapes when people arrange to meet.
On brass and traditional metalware, learn the difference between tarnish and pitting. Tarnish cleans off and is not a fault; pitting is permanent and should be reflected in the price.
Madurai, in Tamil Nadu, has around 1.5 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Chennai, Coimbatore and Tiruchirappalli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Madurai
India’s second-hand market runs heavily through direct conversation — buyers expect to message, negotiate and ask questions before committing, and a listing that answers those questions up front sells noticeably faster than one that does not.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cot bed in Madurai?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. The streets around the temple are dense and largely pedestrian, so anything large is collected from outside that area. The outer city is straightforward to drive.
Is the mattress included?
Say either way. Many buyers prefer a new mattress regardless, so it is not a problem when stated upfront.
