Used cots in Purnia typically sell for ₹2,750 to ₹6,500 (about $29 to $68). Cots are safety equipment with a long usable life, so buyers check standards and fittings before they look at condition.
Selling a cot in Purnia
Purnia is the commercial centre of the Seemanchal region and a major trading point for jute and maize, sitting on the routes towards the north-eastern states. It has grown substantially as a regional market town.
Crop payments arrive seasonally and household upgrades follow them. Out-migration for work in other states means houses are often cleared completely rather than a few items sold.
The market area and the station are the two landmarks everyone knows. Goods traffic is heavy on trading days, so allow more time than the distance suggests.
Purnia, in Bihar, has around 280,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Patna, Gaya and Muzaffarpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Purnia
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
- Adjustable base heights working properly
What pulls it down
- Missing fittings, which make reassembly impossible
- Bite marks and splintering along the top rails
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.

Put in the description
- Cot or cot bed, and the mattress size in centimetres
- Whether a mattress is included, and its age and condition
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.
