Used cot beds in Guildford 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 Guildford
Guildford is a Surrey town with a steep cobbled high street, a castle keep, a twentieth-century cathedral on the hill above and a university beside it. It has a significant video games and technology cluster and is expensive and heavily commuter-led.
The university clears student housing each summer, and the games and technology sector moves staff on project cycles. Home-office and gaming equipment turns over faster here than the town’s size suggests.
The high street is steep and cobbled and largely pedestrianised. Agree a meeting point at the bottom for anything large rather than discovering the problem on the day.
Guildford, in England, has around 77,000 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.

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