Am I asking a reasonable price for this trailer

Nothing wrong with reselling for a profit, but sometimes when you see someone doing it you kick your self for not jumping on something first. Same Guy had bought a kubota l345 for $1500(advertise) and next day had it listed for $3500. At $1500 for the L345, (or less if he got them down a bit) I almost called the lady.

What axles? That would make it a fair price or way over priced.

Good thing with CL is there are plenty of suckers.....

Ya. Look at the people that buy Fords! There's a sucker for every seat!

Really? I would take a Ford any day of the week over a Chevy or Dodge. Been there done that.

Whenever selling something on CL, here is the format that I use:

-----------
Bosch Brute Jackhammer - Like New - CASH only

This Brute has 4-8 hours on it, used twice to move some basement stub-ups. I will continue to post this ad, with a $25 price drop each week until sold, so only offers of full amount will be considered, thank you.

Please put "Want to buy Bosch Jackhammer for $925" in your subject line, as all others will be deleted without opening, thanks.

CASH only.

NO phone calls please.

It's worked like a charm for the few items I've sold.

Looks like a winning format to me!

The Guy who bought it has it reposted for $1500 on Ocala Craigslist right now, don't know how to link it from my phone

We'll see how long the new ad stays up.

I realize the OP had picked the trailer up as part of a package deal, but I dislike the idea of taking something and trying to flip it for an overnight 50% markup (or greater) without adding anything to it.

Had he cleaned up the deck, repaired the rails, added fenders, added a tailgate, and repainted the whole thing, then resold it for $2K, that would have been something different. But, at this point, all he did was take new photos.

Welcome to the free market.
I know, it bothers me a little too sometimes, but there is no guarantee of profit. He is risking his investment in hopes of a profit.

Yep. I wasn't going to say anything, but as long as I wasn't first. :laughing: If your old Uncle Louie leaves you his mansion in his will, should you just give it away to a buyer to be "fair"? I know, that's a stretch, but you get my meaning.

Something is "worth" what someone else will pay for it, when a buyer is not under duress to buy. (just to cover storm "gouging", etc)
