So I start shopping around for a new 5X8 four wheeler trailer. I owned 1 about 5 or 6 years ago, bought it brand new for $495. WTH, has anyone priced these damn things lately. $825 is the cheapest I have found for that size. Are they now made out of gold or what? Anyone know of a more reasonably priced place I can check out?

Craigslist. Tons of them on there for sale. I would never buy a new utility trailer. I bought a like new 20ft double axle trailer on craigslist for $1200.00. It has trailer brakes and a loading gate. The only thing I had to do was rewire the lights. $50...No big deal.

Trailers have have sky rocketed lately I was buying them repairing them and reselling them. But there is one on Craig's list in Hoover (just a frame) needs flooring for $60.oo. Good luck

Craigslist for sure. save a bunch.

PM sent.

Use caution when dealing with crag's list and face book seller. Lots of (stupid) thieves on there. Had 1 in Scottsboro less than a month ago steal the neighbors and post it. He even used his own name in the bill of sale.

reply sent, thanks.

I bought one off Birmingham Craiglist in September that was stolen. Lost 400.00 on that one.

A month or so later a coworker went to buy a dirt bike from an older man on Craiglist for his son on Christmas....He remembered my ordeal and decided to run it..It came back stolen several years before..

I ran a nice, heavy built 6 X 10 on here for 600.00 and never got a single response. It is perfect to haul a Polaris or Ranger on and I just don't need it because I just bought a 16' trailer to haul my tractor on. Seems like sometimes you can't give away a good piece of equipment.

Have you priced steel lately. It's like buying gold, I just built a new catch pin for cattle and it cost a war pension to put up. Metal has been high for the last few years.

Yep steel prices are crazy
