Somewhat optimistic methinks....

I was happy paying it as seen some right tat and I'm not in a rush

Once they lose their initial depreciation after buying them new, trailers don't really lose much in value though once they are kept in perfect condition.
For example you could buy one new for 3K and then it might hold 1500-2000 for three or four subsequent sales thereafter once it's maintained well and no damage done.

Not heard of depreciation then?
Not in the short time I've had it:lol:
We've probably all done this when looking for a new motor etc, weeks and weeks scouring the internet/papers ebay. Days booked off work and £30-£40 fuel a go to see what turns out to be a load of crap
I had a few months of that before I found this trailer.The trailer was listed as an auction and bidding started at £1850, it cost me £50 to go and view and £2000 to get him to end the auction. I paid this because all the others I'd been watching made this and more on ebay
This was by far the best of the bunch and if you counted all the wasted time and fuel viewing others it cost me a lot more than the asking price
I am open to part ex's on a smaller one, this one takes up all my drive and probably won't get used again till next years log and pole sale
They were all making £1500 to £2500 on ebay when I was looking and one that I went and viewed [absolute crap] sold for £1750 and the seller [from a neighbouring village
] said the buyer was over the moonI looked into buying new but you have things you take for granted being charged as extra's like sides and ramps, then there's VAT on top which was more than I wanted to pay [or had]
Thanks for the reply:5bcheers2:
