Used cot beds in Irvine typically sell for $67 to $335. Cot beds are worth more than cots because they last years longer, so make the conversion explicit — and confirm you have every fitting needed to do it.
Selling a cot bed in Irvine
Irvine is one of the largest master-planned communities in the country, laid out in villages around a university campus, with a substantial technology and biomedical employer base. It is affluent, modern and consistently ranks among the safest cities of its size.
The university clears student housing each spring, and technology employers move staff on project cycles. Modern housing and high turnover mean furniture is replaced rather than kept for decades.
On home-office equipment from a tech household, ask its daily running hours. Well-specified hardware here is often barely marked but has run continuously rather than occasionally.
Irvine, in California, has around 310,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Irvine
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

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.
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.
