Used cots in Inverness 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 Inverness
Inverness is the capital of the Highlands and the largest settlement for a very long way in any direction, at the mouth of the river that runs from the loch famous worldwide. It is the base for an enormous tourist trade and the service centre for a huge rural area.
Tourism employment is strongly seasonal and workers set up and clear accommodation twice a year. Outdoor equipment turns over constantly given the Highlands begin at the edge of town.
The city is compact and the river and castle are the landmarks everyone uses. It serves a vast area, so buyers may be driving in from a long way out and will want a firm time rather than a window.
Inverness, in Scotland, has around 70,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Inverness

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid wood construction with no splits
- 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
- Check the bar spacing and safety label
- Inspect the top rails for bite damage and splinters
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
- Whether a mattress is included, and its age and condition
- Whether all fixings and the instructions are present
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.
