Used sofa beds in Tempe typically sell for $110 to $540. A sofa bed is two products in one listing, and buyers want proof of both — so photograph it opened out, with the mattress visible.
Selling a sofa bed in Tempe
Tempe is dominated by one of the largest university campuses in the country, built around a butte and an artificial lake in the riverbed. It is dense by the standards of the region and overwhelmingly shaped by the student population.
The light rail runs through the city and campus and is genuinely useful for anything portable. Campus parking is difficult, so agree a meeting point off it for anything large.
In the May move-out weeks, look at the item in person if you can. The student market clears in a few days here and speed is precisely when checking gets skipped.
Tempe, in Arizona, has around 182,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Tempe
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

- The mechanism, plus the fire-safety label and any damage
Put in the description
- Bed size — single, double or king — and mattress thickness
- Mattress condition, material, and whether the fire label is present
Collection only and heavier than an equivalent sofa because of the mechanism. Say which floor it is on and whether the legs come off.
