Older Eager Beaver trailer

I'm looking at an older (late 70's/early 80's) tri ax tag along type Eager Beaver trailer, electric brakes, drop ramps. It's old enough it has the older style wheels, not the hub centered type. I'm having a hard time figuring reasonable value. Any ideas where to look? Sites like Auctiontime don't seem to go for stuff that old. It's more than I need but I may be able to redeck it and sell it for enough to finance some truck repairs.
 
when you say older style wheel are you refering to the Dayton spokes or the Budd wheel with the thimble that tightens the inner wheel then the nut that tightens the outer wheel?
 
Can’t conjer up a photo of it? I would say that is the only way anyone will get close on a value. If it is a fixer
upper maybe you have to approach it by setting a dollar figure on the profit you want to put towards a tractor.
Then estimate the repair cost and likely multiply that times a third because it always takes more than you plan
for. Then set the price your willing to pay based off that. Sort of like buying a fixer upper car to resell at a profit.

I have a 1985 tri axle 9 ton Eager Beaver in pretty decent shape except for surface rust. Good brakes & wiring but needs new tires. I value it at around $1500.
