These are all excellent posts. Thank you! I need to begin today preparing the wife for the amount I will have to bid. There is a buyer's fee, and I will have to ask about whether the local sales tax applies: Usually it doesn't apply to used equipment but a greedier city government cannot be found. I had not thought of the ramps' weight capacity, and that is important. I don't need the trailer but just want to have it, and I've reached an age at which not having something I want makes no sense at all. Thanks again.
