Selling a cot in Bracknell
Bracknell is a post-war new town in the Thames Valley with a corporate technology employer base and a centre that was comprehensively rebuilt in the past decade. Forest surrounds much of the town and the housing is almost entirely modern.
The technology campuses run on fixed-term project contracts, so rented flats are furnished at speed and cleared completely a year or two later. Monitors, desk chairs and second screens come onto the market in batches rather than singly, and often from someone who bought them new and barely used them at home.
Finding the address is the difficulty here rather than parking. The residential closes are reached from distributor roads and a satnav will happily route you to the back of an estate with no way through, so ask the seller which roundabout to come off and the rest of it is easy.
Bracknell, in England, has around 113,000 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 Bracknell

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
- 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
- Check the mattress base and the slats for cracks, and confirm the drop-side or height adjustment still locks properly.
- 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 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.
