Selling a cot in Fredericton
Fredericton is the provincial capital, a university and government town on the river with a good deal of preserved architecture and a strong local arts and craft scene. It is small, walkable and dominated by two institutions rather than an industry.
The academic year sets the rhythm: student housing empties in April and refills in September. Government postings move households on a separate and slower cycle.
The downtown is compact and walkable and the river trail system is genuinely useful. Driving and parking are both easy, so anything large is straightforward.
On anything sold in the April clear-out, see it in person if you can. The student market empties in a few days and that speed is exactly when a quick look would have paid for itself.
Fredericton, in New Brunswick, has around 65,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Moncton, Saint John and Toronto 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
- Adjustable base heights working properly
What pulls it down
- Bite marks and splintering along the top rails
- Older cots not meeting current spacing standards
Working out what yours is worth
- Bag every bolt and fitting with the cot when dismantling
- Check the bar spacing and safety label
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.

- 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
Steady all year. Cot beds sell faster than plain cots because they last longer, and solid wood outsells board.
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.
