Used cots in Delta typically sell for C$75 to C$375 (about $54 to $270). Cots are safety equipment with a long usable life, so buyers check standards and fittings before they look at condition.
Selling a cot in Delta
Delta is farmland, port and suburb in three distinct communities separated by fields and water, with one of the country’s largest container terminals on its coast. It is flat, it is agricultural, and it does not have a single downtown at all.
Port and agricultural work both run on shift and seasonal cycles, and the farming community keeps tools and equipment circulating that the suburban parts would not generate on their own.
Agree which of the three communities before anything else — they are a real distance apart and the name alone tells you nothing. Driving is essential and the land is flat, so access is rarely the issue.
Delta, in British Columbia, has around 110,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- Current safety standard labels intact
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
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
- 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.

- The mattress base and slats from above
- Any chew marks on the rails, which are extremely common and should be shown rather than hidden
Put in the description
- Whether all fixings and the instructions are present
- 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.
