Used cots in Aylesbury typically sell for £40 to £200 (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 Aylesbury
Aylesbury is the county town of Buckinghamshire, known for a breed of duck and for a theatre that anchors the rebuilt centre. It sits in the Vale below the Chilterns and has grown considerably as a commuter town.
A great deal of the housing here went up within the past twenty years and was furnished all at once, so it now reaches the market in complete matching sets as those families trade up. Against that, the villages up in the Chilterns give up much older furniture one piece at a time.
The town has grown by adding estates around its edge, and several of them are far enough out to be a separate journey from the old centre, so ask for the estate name and not just the postcode. The market square is closed to traffic on market days.
Aylesbury, in England, has around 71,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Aylesbury
Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- Current safety standard labels intact
- Solid wood construction with no splits
What pulls it down
- Bite marks and splintering along the top rails
- 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.

- 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
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.

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.
