Used cot beds in Phoenix 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 Phoenix
Phoenix is a desert city built around driving, with mild winters that draw a large seasonal population. Pool and patio equipment, golf clubs and anything for the outdoors in winter all have a strong local market, and summer heat is the thing that governs everyday life.
Seasonal residents arrive for the winter and leave in spring, and departures put furniture and sports equipment onto the market in a concentrated burst each year. Sun damage is the check worth making on anything that has lived outside.
Sun is the thing that kills goods here. Check plastics, upholstery and rubber on anything that lived outdoors, and expect fading and brittleness even on items that were only a couple of summers old.
Phoenix, in Arizona, has around 1.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Tucson, Mesa and Chandler are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Phoenix
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

- Whether the conversion parts to toddler bed are present
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.
