Used cot beds in Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis
Minneapolis has severe winters, a great many lakes and a cycling culture that persists through both. Winter clothing, skis and paddle craft all have deep local markets, and the seasonal swing here is sharper than almost anywhere else.
The university adds an academic cycle to an already sharp seasonal one. Summer gear appears in autumn and winter gear in spring, and buying against the season is worth real money here.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check seals, glue joints and batteries. Winters here are severe enough that a season of storage does more damage than a year of use.
Minneapolis, in Minnesota, has around 430,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Saint Paul, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Minneapolis
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cot bed in Minneapolis?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. Winter is a genuine constraint on moving anything large for several months, and prices reflect it. The lakes and river shape the road network, so the route matters more than the distance.
Is the mattress included?
Say either way. Many buyers prefer a new mattress regardless, so it is not a problem when stated upfront.
