I've been hot and heavy for the last week or two looking for a trailer. I've missed out on a couple good deals but will get one soon enough... I saw that one you were talking about @Big Dave and there is another across from hwy 52 that could be had cheap. But it needs more TLC than I am want.

Just be careful with used trailers.  Never know about bearings, axles, hubs, and the age of the tires.  You could save money and end up spending the money saved fixing the used one. 

Rode by Country Boy trailers yesterday, surprised to see them flying the old  GA flag.  Loved it!

Mike is right.
My trailer was $1k. I drove almost 2 hours to get it. Looked at it in the dark.
I spent $760 on brand new 5200# Dexter brake axles/springs, $350 on new tires/wheels, $85 on lug nuts & wiring. Add 8 hours of labor to if it you're not Pat. Lol.
Still cheaper than the trailers I found at the time.

Yep, at $1k it's worth the risk. The trailers out there that are 8 years old and someone wants $600 less than a new one, I'm buying new. Send me a link to another $1k trailer though!

But it's in Boston. I'd climb under it & make sure there was no rust.

I didn’t even check the location, but good call.

FYI - it’s a 2007 and looks like it was stored outside

I’m going out in a limb here....but 9 out of 10 trailers are likely stored outside. 

Brand new trailers are stored outside.

Sorry my point was it sounded like it’s in need of some work. Didn’t seem like as good of a deal as it appeared

you guys got these emails/notices for Artec Ind yesterday, right?
I believe it is an ongoing liquidation since earlier in Summer + I am not sure how many of these closeout, or discontinued items there'd be interest in but significant savings on some odd and misc parts from Artie & CO seems worth sharin if you havent:

...& there is a link on there stating there's a Facebook only  https://www.facebook.com/groups/artecgaragesale/ for scratch-and-dent or other items

Might could talk them down on this one a little. Not a bad price though...
