Used cots in Yonkers typically sell for $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 Yonkers
Yonkers sits immediately north of a far larger city on the river, and it is the third-largest city in its state. It has a long manufacturing history, a restored waterfront and a housing stock that ranges from dense apartments to substantial older homes.
The shared labour market with the city to the south means households move constantly, and apartment living means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
Commuter rail into the larger city is frequent and is the easiest way to handle anything portable. Apartment buildings often require a service lift to be booked, so confirm before agreeing to collect furniture.
Yonkers, in New York, has around 210,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. New York, Buffalo and Rochester are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Yonkers
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

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
- 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
- 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.

- Any chew marks on the rails, which are extremely common and should be shown rather than hidden
Put in the description
- Whether all fixings and the instructions are present
- 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.
