Selling a cot in Armidale
Armidale is a university town on the New England tablelands, high enough that it gets frost through winter and occasional snow. The university dominates the local economy and the population turns over with the academic year in a way that is obvious on the ground.
Semesters govern everything. Share houses fill in February and empty in November, and the November clear-out is when desks, bookshelves and heaters come onto the market in volume and at their lowest prices.
The town is small and walkable in the centre, and almost everything else is a short drive. Winter mornings are genuinely cold, so agreeing a middle-of-the-day time in the colder months is sensible.
Armidale, in New South Wales, has around 25,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Armidale
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- Current safety standard labels intact
- Solid wood construction with no splits
What pulls it down
- Missing fittings, which make reassembly impossible
- Older cots not meeting current spacing standards
Working out what yours is worth
- Bag every bolt and fitting with the cot when dismantling
- Inspect the top rails for bite damage and splinters
Getting it ready
- Find or download the assembly instructions, and gather every bolt, allen key and fixing. A cot missing fixings is close to unsellable.
- Measure the mattress size it takes, since buyers need to know whether their existing mattress fits.

Put in the description
- Cot or cot bed, and the mattress size in centimetres
- Whether all fixings and the instructions are present
Dismantle it before collection if you can, and keep the fixings in a labelled bag taped to a rail. That single step makes the handover smooth and is the sort of thing buyers remember when they rate you.
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.
