It doesn't include the Harbor Freight trailer chassis. Strange way to sell a teardrop, just jack up the price $200 so they can get it home 
Go figure, it isn't a teardrop without the chassis.

Same guy had one on Ebay earlier made with OSB.
Looks like he's trying different things just to make a quick buck.
Nice doors, though.

I wouldn't want to pull something this fragile looking down the road. Danny

OK, so I'm not the only one that thought it was a dumb idea.
Not much strength in those 2X4's and plywood.

A lot of times these guys, and I used to be one of them will sell the trailers frame separately to avoid the problems, costs and aggravation (aggravation is a big word here) of getting a Trailer title in there name and then transferring it into the buyers name.
Here in PA. "the state of confusion" a double transfer (@ $85=$170), 6% sales tax ($134) and a lost day by the builder at the DMV, that's more than the cost of a HF frame.
I had my customers, when I used HF frames order a HF frame and have it shipped to me. They would get there own registration in there own name, one time and I wouldn't be involved in any kind of DMV nonsense. Thus saving the buyer about $200+ dollars. Saving, did I say saving...I ment to say "Save from Squandering" $200+ on absolutly nothing.
Now I don't know what this guys doing, BUT! if he doesn't Assemble it and mount it to the frame for you. On a trailer with no roof, a wood exterior, no cabinets or interior electric system.
I think you can find another one.
Happy Trails

It's an interesting idea. I would like it to be a little more stout and I would certainly not pay what the seller is asking for that little.

Those doors are horse trailer door. They have a outer solid door and a second inner jailhouse bar door. unless he is changing the hardware they dont even have handles on the inside to open them.
