Your trailer looks nice, but a quick Internet search shows 5 x 10 cargo trailers sell new right around $1500
While it is understandable that you want to recover all your money, people often confuse "what they paid" with actual value.
For example; if I was in the market for a 5 x 10 cargo trailer, and I had a choice between buying used, or buying new, I would not buy your used one for the same money I could buy a new one.
I would either buy new in order to get the warranty and be assured the trailer hadn't been overloaded, abused, etc, or I would expect to buy a used one for half to two thirds the cost of a new one, depending on condition and age.
I'm not trying to discourage you from getting your price, as you may find a buyer, but as Gage pointed out, because of the limited market, and the thousands of cargo trailer dealers across the country, yours doesn't stand out as a "deal" at the current pricing.

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...
