    2015 7x14 single axle with brakes,ramp door and side door. Very good condition for it's age. No damage

    I put it on Facebook for 2800 and my phone lit up like Broome on leg day.

    Am I giving it away?

    Depends upon the brand and build. Honestly you can buy a new one for cheap but the quality of the build is really the main sticking point.

    Probably, but at least you're not alone in that. I sold an old beat to death enclosed trailer a couple years ago (formerly my brothers)
    that I listed for $800 after looking at comparable trailers on craigslist and the same happened to me. Phone blew up, sold and gone in a couple hours.

    Are you in Nashville, or am I thinking of someone else?

    I’ve been looking for a trailer…

    Yeah a few are itching to pull the trigger at 2500

    A new one is about $4k so I'd take the $2500 and run. That brand should not have Quality in their name LOL.

    It's a decent trailer and held up well but I think the axle should have been set about 6 inches further back.

    The rule I was taught was if they jump on the asking price, you weren't asking enough.

    Will you be happy at $2500?

    Dave K DaveK über alles!

    Lawn mowing companies around here snap the cheaper ones up like mad (or some of the shady ones just steal them). Don’t care about how they tow just that they roll.

    Lots of inquiries seems like a good thing until:

    Out of 20 inquiries, 15 will not respond after asking the mouth breather question: Is this still available?
    3 of them will ask if you'll take 50% of your asking price, "CASH MONIES"
    1 of them will ask a legitimate question
    The last one might be a possibility.

    That 5% number may be a little optimistic…

    The guy that wants to trade a car that can't pass inspection, and may not even move under it's own power, that if in mint condition would still only be half the value of what you're selling is always 'entertaining.' Them getting cranky when you don't express interest is even more so.
     
  19. notbostrom

    notbostrom DaveK broke the interwebs

    Out of 60 inquiries

    39 is this available

    15 offered half or less, don't know if they would have upped the offer since I blocked them lol

    3 said I want it today and then disappeared

    2 seem legit at 2600 and have scheduled a time for tomorrow. One of the 2 offered a deposit

    Told ya 5% was optimistic.

    I wouldn’t have guessed as good as 3%.

    I also have a hard and fast rule, you offer me less than asking without looking, the price goes up, and you are the last one to get a response.
