Used cots in Ipswich typically sell for £40 to £200 (about $54 to $270). Cots are safety equipment with a long usable life, so buyers check standards and fittings before they look at condition.
Selling a cot in Ipswich
Ipswich is one of the oldest continuously settled towns in the country, a working port on the Orwell with a waterfront that has been comprehensively redeveloped around a marina and a university campus. Agriculture and shipping both feed the local economy.
The port runs on its own long cycle and puts unusually heavy-duty equipment into private hands, from chandlery to lifting gear. Ipswich also serves as the market town for a wide stretch of rural Suffolk, so farm and estate clearances reach it from well outside the town boundary.
The waterfront is largely converted warehouse and modern flats where loading bays have to be booked ahead, while the streets climbing away from it are Victorian terraces with permit bays. The two are a very different proposition, so establish which one you are collecting from.
Ipswich, in England, has around 180,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ipswich
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.

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
- Older cots not meeting current spacing standards
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
- Find or download the assembly instructions, and gather every bolt, allen key and fixing. A cot missing fixings is close to unsellable.
- Check the mattress base and the slats for cracks, and confirm the drop-side or height adjustment still locks properly.

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.
