I have a 5X10 wood floor trailer with gate I bought from Lowes last year for $1,100. I need to sell it bc I decided to go back to school and can no longer run my lawn care business. Im not sure how much to sell it for, its in great shape and only one year old. Any thoughts?

chain it to a tree in your front yard with a for sale sign on it, but being honest be pleasantly suprised if you get as much as half of your money back on it.

Trailers, campers, toppers (caps) and boats always take a serious hit in value when you try to sell them

My honest advice? park it at a relatives house of you don't have room and hope to find other uses for it later because turning it back into cash isn't going to get you enough of it's original value to justify selling it.

As Dennis Miller says "But I could be wrong..."

But I wouldn't bet on it.

x2 AllanD's advice. sooner or later, and usually sooner, most folks find they need a trailer. yours is already paid for so finding a place to store it would put you $1100 ahead.

Please no...

If you were closer to me, I'd buy that trailer right now... its hard to find a decent trailer for a decent price here... everything is either new, or some cobbled together home-made thing... don't get my wrong, not all home made stuff is bad, but most that comes from NE is lol.
