Used cot beds in Doncaster 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 Doncaster
Doncaster was a railway works town and remains a major rail and road freight junction, with a racecourse that holds the oldest classic horse race in the world and a coalfield history across the surrounding district. The airport site and logistics parks dominate the modern economy.
Rail and logistics employment moves contract households in and out, and the closure of the pits and the works left tools in private hands across the district. Housing is cheap enough that people furnish rather than replace.
On rail or logistics tools, ask whether they were used commercially. Equipment from the works and the depots is genuinely heavy duty but has done far more hours than a domestic equivalent.
Doncaster, in England, has around 113,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Doncaster
Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.

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.

Is the mattress included?
Say either way. Many buyers prefer a new mattress regardless, so it is not a problem when stated upfront.
