Used cot beds in Brighton 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 Brighton
Brighton is the seaside city with the strongest vintage and antiques trade in the country, a pier, two universities and a population that skews young and creative. It is also expensive, which means people live in smaller spaces and replace things more often than they store them.
Two student populations clear housing each June, and the strong second-hand culture here means goods change hands repeatedly rather than being discarded. Small flats mean furniture is sold rather than stored.
On vintage clothing, check the seams and under the arms rather than the print. This is a knowledgeable market and condition genuinely sets the price, so a vague listing usually means an average piece.
Brighton, in England, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Brighton

Steady all year. Cot beds sell faster and for more than plain cots because they last from birth to around four years.
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 Brighton?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The centre and the seafront are walkable and the station is central, so small handovers are easy. Parking is genuinely difficult across the city and permit zones are extensive, so for anything large agree a plan rather than assuming.
Are all the fittings there?
Count them against the instructions. Missing bolts are the main reason a cot sale falls through at collection.
