Selling a cot in Shepparton
Shepparton is the centre of one of the country’s most productive fruit-growing and dairy districts, with food processing to match. It has one of the more diverse populations of any regional city, built up over decades of people arriving for the work and staying.
Seasonal harvest and processing work turns households over through the year, and families settling permanently after arriving for work means a steady flow of furniture and children’s equipment being upgraded rather than discarded.
The town is flat and driving is easy, and parking is straightforward. Shift work in the processing plants is common, so the useful question is which days a seller is actually free.
Shepparton, in Victoria, has around 52,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

- The fixings, allen key and instructions laid out together
- Any chew marks on the rails, which are extremely common and should be shown rather than hidden
Put in the description
- Whether a mattress is included, and its age and condition
- Material, and whether the height adjusts or a side drops
Type and mattress size: “Solid Pine Cot Bed with Mattress, 140x70cm”. A cot bed converts to a toddler bed and is worth more than a plain cot, so make the distinction clear. State whether a mattress is included, because that is a significant part of the value.
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.
