Why is it that everyone who has an old teardrop, thinks they own a gold mine. You can buy a restored 'Kit' for $5900.

I'm with you Gage.

SOME trailers are worth a lot of money...IF there in great condition. And these same trailers are worth crap if there condition is crap.

A lot of sellers don't see the difference.

I've reconditioned many trailers, and weather I buy it or not is predicated on ;

1. What its worth in great condition

2. How much it will cost to get it in that condition.

3. How much I can get it for.

4. Is it worth my time.

Unless you have a personal connection with this particular trailer

Let it sit for that price.

Happy Trails

Len

Mine was a 2004. A poorly worded attempt at humor... Using this guy's price, if I had sold a 1947 instead of a 2004 I would have made a lot more money.

Go figure....I always love reading those type ads...you know the ones...lots of words/phrases like, (rare, collectable, one of a kind, only 20 known to exist...etc...) You all would flip if you knew how cheaply I sold my 49 for and it had original glass fenders on it...but I know where it is, and it did go to a very good home, lots of TLC behind a 40 Ford. But that was many years ago in a galaxy far far away. Like PT Barnum said..."a sucker and his money are soon parted" Doug

Didn't he say, "There's a sucker born every minute?"...

I dunno Dean....I'm sure he had lots of "sucker" references....maybe I'm wrong, you might be right....I know I heard this for a good portion of my life. it works for me. and who said "never give a sucker an even break" or was that just a 30's WC Fields movie title? doug
