Used cots in Jersey City 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 Jersey City
Jersey City faces a far larger city across the river and has been comprehensively redeveloped into a financial district of its own, with rapid transit connections under the water. It is one of the most diverse cities in the country.
Financial sector employment moves people on job cycles and a highly international population clears households completely when relocating abroad. Small apartments mean furniture is sold rather than stored.
Transit under the river is quick and is the easiest way to handle anything portable. High-rise buildings almost always require a service lift to be booked, so confirm before agreeing to collect furniture.
Jersey City, in New Jersey, has around 292,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Newark, Paterson and New York are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Jersey City
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

Working out what yours is worth

- 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.

Put in the description
- Cot or cot bed, and the mattress size in centimetres
- Whether a mattress is included, and its age and condition
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.
