Used cot beds in Exeter 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 Exeter
Exeter has a cathedral with the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling anywhere, a university that dominates the north of the city and a quayside on the Exe that is the centre of local outdoor life. It is the regional capital for the south-west peninsula.
The university is large relative to the city and clears student housing every June, which is the dominant cycle. Outdoor and water equipment moves constantly given the moors and the coast either side.
On outdoor and water gear, ask its age and how it was stored. Anything load-bearing has a service life regardless of how it looks, and honest sellers here will tell you without being asked.
Exeter, in England, has around 130,000 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 Exeter
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.

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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cot bed in Exeter?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The quayside and the cathedral green are the landmarks everyone uses. The city is built on a hill above the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy; the centre itself has extensive pedestrian zones.
Is the mattress included?
Say either way. Many buyers prefer a new mattress regardless, so it is not a problem when stated upfront.
