Used bunk beds can be purchased at many locations beyond the classified ads you see in the paper. The most popular locations are flea markets, consignment shops and estate sales. Another possible place is to purchase from rental companies. Many of these companies operate clearance centers or regional stores where the public can get significant discounts off used items. Finally, government or traditional online auctions are good locations to find used bunk beds.

Buying a used bunk bed is similar to buying other used items. You should start by researching the prices of both new and used bunk beds. You should then set a budget for the purchase and look within that price range.

Knowing the reputation of the seller is also important, particularly if you buy the bunk bed online. Make sure they have a history of good customer service and will promptly send the item to your home. Look at pictures of the used bunk bed so that you can visually inspect the quality to make sure there are no welding issues (if a metal bed). Also, visually inspect it to ensure that the guard rails go along all four sides on the top bunk.

A bunk bed can be an exciting addition to any home. Buying used will give you a price break, and can open up many more possibilities than buying new.
