Used cots in Sharjah typically sell for AED 200 to AED 990 (about $54 to $270). Cots sell well because they are bulky to buy new and used only briefly, but buyers check one thing first: whether every fixing and instruction is present so they can rebuild it safely.
Selling a cot in Sharjah
Sharjah is the most affordable of the northern emirates to live in and a large share of its residents commute into Dubai, which makes it a family and household market rather than a luxury one. Practical goods move here: white goods, children’s things and furniture that has to last. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
Families move between the northern emirates far more often than they leave the country entirely, usually chasing rent, so goods here tend to circulate locally rather than being dumped by someone leaving for good.
The commute into Dubai shapes the day, so most handovers get arranged for evenings or the weekend rather than the middle of a working day. Collection by car is the norm and parking around the residential blocks is generally straightforward.
Sharjah has around 1.8 million people in Sharjah, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Kalba, Khor Fakkan and Dubai are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
- Adjustable base heights working properly
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
- 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.

- Whether all fixings and the instructions are present
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.

Is the mattress included?
Say so either way. Many buyers prefer to buy a new mattress regardless, so a cot without one is not a problem when stated up front.
