Used cots in Amarillo typically sell for $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 Amarillo
Amarillo sits high on the plains in the middle of cattle country, with a beef processing industry of national significance, a helium reserve and a stretch of the old cross-country highway running through it. It is flat, windy and a long way from anywhere.
Cattle and processing employment runs on its own cycles, and the surrounding ranch country brings tools and equipment into the city. Distance from anywhere larger means goods circulate locally for longer.
The city is flat and on a grid, so addresses are easy and parking is generous. It serves a vast rural area, so buyers may be driving a long way in and will want a firm time.
Amarillo, in Texas, has around 200,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Houston, San Antonio and Dallas are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Amarillo
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

What cots are worth
What lifts the price
- All fittings, bolts and instructions present
- Solid wood construction with no splits
What pulls it down
- Missing fittings, which make reassembly impossible
- 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
- 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.

- 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
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.
