Something has to be up, $1650 for that would be awesome.

My thoughts exactly... I paid almost three times that amount for my 5x10 dual axle 7k. Area code on the contact info isn't a local area code, I'd say it's a scam.

Same one for the same price here in Denver on Craigslist too... I actually E-mailed em asking to see it, never got a reply. Was assuming it was a scam, but figured it was worth a look as it was allegedly near my office.

Well, just looked & my CL post has 1 of the 2 photos & different text, but the same price.

Not a great picture, but it was raining, and we only stopped for a few seconds so I had to rush to get the picture. Guy towing a 6,500lb New Holland L220 skid steer with two very low left side tires (right side looked okay). The right brake/taillight was out, and when I pulled up next to him, noticed it was a landscape trailer (it was a landscaping company) that probably wasn't rated for over 7K....very lightly built.

Saw this heading through town today. Brand new truck and skid steer. A yard or more of dirt in front of SS. No tie downs at all

Traveling 65MPH down the freeway (70 limit area) I noticed I was coming up on a truck with a dovetail car trailer that had a small pile of something in the middle, covered with tarps flapping in the wind. Trying to figure out what it was, I almost didn't realize how fast I was coming up on it. I slow down to about 55 and I'm still coming up on it when I realize it is a load of sand. Every time he hits a bump, more is moving to the rear and sliding off the tail. As room appears to my left I move over and dig my phone out of my pocket and get it unlocked to take a pic, because what I'm seeing I can't believe. The pile is centered between the trailer axles and the rear of the trailer, and is sliding off the tail. I blow by him doing less than 50MPH snapping a picture out of disbelief. Every time he hits a bump, you can see little bits of daylight appear under his rear tires.

Please excuse the late timing on snapping the pic, driving safety comes first.

Along the same lines, we saw a moron hauling a load of very small gravel with a lot of sand in an open trailer on the interstate! Sand and gravel were blowing out the back and pelting vehicles in his lane. It was a quick pass and outta there for us but I'll bet it didn't end well for him and that someone might have an issue with things. Sorry no pic--I tried-- but it really did happen and I'll bet we have all seen similar over the years.

Years ago I saw a rapidly dwindling pile of nice sand being hauled down the road in an open trailer and at higher speeds you could see the pile shrinking in the wind.

You would figure people are smarter than this.

Me? Naw.... I'm a bit more realistic than to figure on notions as wild as that...

That's why a lot of contractors add a 20% margin - shrinkage! :D
