Selling a cot in Abbotsford
Abbotsford is the agricultural centre of the valley, with berry and dairy farming on a large scale and a well-known airshow each summer. It sits right on the international border with mountains on both sides, and it is a working farming city rather than a commuter one.
Farm equipment turns over on a working life, and the seasonal berry harvest brings a large temporary workforce that furnishes and clears accommodation on the season. Family housing turns over more slowly.
Driving is essential and trailers are ordinary, which makes anything large easy to move. Farm addresses on rural routes are worth confirming with a landmark rather than relying on a map.
Abbotsford, in British Columbia, has around 155,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Abbotsford
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
- Solid wood construction with no splits
What pulls it down
- Older cots not meeting current spacing standards
- Drop-side designs, which are no longer recommended
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
- Check the mattress base and the slats for cracks, and confirm the drop-side or height adjustment still locks properly.
- Measure the mattress size it takes, since buyers need to know whether their existing mattress fits.
Photograph
- The cot assembled, from the side
- Any chew marks on the rails, which are extremely common and should be shown rather than hidden
Put in the description
- Cot or cot bed, and the mattress size in centimetres
- Material, and whether the height adjusts or a side drops
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.
