Used cot beds in Belfast typically sell for £50 to £250 (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 Belfast
Belfast built the ships that made its name and the two cranes over the yard are still the city’s landmark, with a museum quarter grown up around that history. It has two universities, a substantial film production industry and a centre that has been comprehensively rebuilt in the past thirty years.
Two student populations clear houses every summer, and the film and television industry brings crews in on production cycles who furnish rentals and clear them at the end of a shoot.
On furniture from a terraced street, measure the hallway turn rather than the doorway. Those houses have a tight turn at the foot of the stairs that defeats more sofas than any other obstacle here.
Belfast, in Northern Ireland, has around 345,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Londonderry, Newtownabbey and Bangor are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Belfast

Put in the description
- Mattress size in centimetres, and whether a mattress is included
- Whether the conversion parts to toddler bed are present
Dismantle it before collection and tape the fittings in a labelled bag to a rail. Include the instructions in the bag — it is a small courtesy buyers consistently mention in ratings.
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 Belfast?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The centre is compact and walkable and most small handovers happen there. For anything large, the terraced streets off the main roads are narrow with limited parking, so agree access rather than assuming it.
Is the mattress included?
Say either way. Many buyers prefer a new mattress regardless, so it is not a problem when stated upfront.
