    Default Trailers

    I seriously think I'm going to buy a bunch of trailers... Let them sit for a few years and they ask double for what I paid for them... Seems like everywhere is used junk for brand new prices... WTF...

    Now they are Vintage. That makes them worth double. I had the same issue when we where looking for trailers. I was looking for a 20 foot flatbed bumper tow. Found a nice one on Craigslist after looking at about 20. Only issue is it has those mobile home wheels with no hub. Tires are kinda expensive for it.

    Totally agree. Absolutely no reason to buy used. Seems like only 1 in 100 used are actually good trailers for a decent used price.

    Becks in St. John's was easy to deal with. They sell Legend which are made in MI (I believe Alma). I purchased one of the Cyclone brand trailers (basically same quality as legend but with a steel frame) and it was a nice piece. It was a 25 footer and that was back in 2015. The guy I dealt with was "Big Jim".

    Do you want a good trailer or a cheap trailer? They are not one in the same. Depends what you're looking for, open or enclosed?
    A decent used trailer will sell in a day/s on craigslist.

    As long as the interested parties show up. It took a month for me to sell my Triton ATV trailer. So many people wanted it but never showed. The first person to look at it bought it for 95% of asking price. I feel like craigslist isn't the ideal place to list things anymore. I've heard there are groups on facebook that get all of the views these days.
