Hi guys. I'm looking for a used trailer to transport at the most, a small tractor like an Allis Chalmers B or IH 140 occasionally to a local show or parade. Rest of the time, it would be mostly building materials or junk.
This trailer is for sale near me (southern Virginia). He is pretty firm at $1500. Needs a new deck (it's non-treated, rotted plywood). 16' long deck, 6.3' wide. Lights supposedly work, but the brakes have never been connected. It has mobile home axles and tires. No breakaway box and its been used as Farm Use, although there is a title. Frame seems to be in very good condition, he says it was sandblasted and painted at some point.
I'm probably not going to pursue it, just because I'm not sure about the mobile home stuff, and I don't really want to have to replace the entire deck. And I don't know about the VA requirements for registering.
But what I want to know is, is that a fair price for a trailer in this condition? This will help me when looking at other used trailers. Seems like prices around here are all over the place.
