$2,000 starting bid, I wonder what they have the reserve set at?
Nice original trailer, what are one of those Tourettes really worth? Gage?

...I doanno but it looks to be worth about a buck, 2.98...I know, I know but that is about what it would be worth to me in the shape it appears to be in.........

The girl is dreaming. The skin has to be replaced and there is no galley. And what's with the rain gutter under the door. For todays market, less that $1000 because of it's condition.

Have a good day.

I guess I'm being unkind, since I'm a teardrop owner, but it seems to have no class at all. It might be a good starting point, but seems to be being advertised looking for that one person who really cares... no broad appeal.
Does it have some hidden values I'm missing.? I must mention I'm not a vintage person. Age of a tear has no effect on me. I'm more of a function person... It could be pristine and it just wouldn't appeal to me. It's missing that 'something'..

Gage is right under $1000 is probably about right, My taste is for vintage, there is history in my teadrop, who was in it before? where did it go? and the challenges of restoring it have been very fun. I like all that. Mine was in slightly better shape when I bought it, no interior, bad torsion axle. no wiring.

Ugly old tear. That slat floor makes me think it leaks pretty bad.

Problem is, because of the growing popularity of owning a vintage trailer and shows like RV Crazy,anybody with a piece of crap trailer sitting in their back lot for the last four decades, thinks they can get top dollar for it. They don't realize they are not worth much until they are restored just like a classic car.
Gage- how about coming up with a uniform rating and pricing guide for vintage trailers?

There was another like that couple weeks ago, asking $2500 to start. All aluminum, no insulation. I could only imagine a humid day, then a hail storm....

Check my album for "Mary's TD". I'll bet she'll let it go for little to nothing. It's been sitting on their farm for a decade or two. I haven't seen it so can't vouch for the frame, but you better plan on bringing a trailer for it. By the way, it's in Dixon, California between Sacramento and San Francisco. Hey, maybe Scott can pick it up on his way through to the Redwoods.

Rob,
I already have one in the garage with aluminum just like that. I'm going to tell everyone it's a spoiler to help the trailer track straight.
