Used cot beds in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 245 to AED 1,250 (about $67 to $335). Cot beds are worth more than cots because they last years longer, so make the conversion explicit — and confirm you have every fitting needed to do it.
Selling a cot bed in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
Ask how long the seller has owned the item. Postings here run longer than in Dubai, so goods are typically better used but also better looked after, and the ownership history tells you which you are getting.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people in Abu Dhabi, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cot bed in Abu Dhabi?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Are all the fittings there?
Count them against the instructions. Missing bolts are the main reason a cot sale falls through at collection.
