    sell on craigslist or scrap?

    Hi. I have an old trailer (pic) that I need to sell asap. I am clueless on what its worth. Opens & shuts, has lock in back, lights on trailer, decent tires...[IMG][/IMG]

    Could somebody give me a "heads up" on what its worth??

    Thank you for your time!
    :confused:

    ((Didnt mean to make the pic so big!!))

    If you have or need a title for it, I'm sure you can get $200 to $300 on Craigs List for it.

    If you need to sell it quick don't over price it, if you give a fair to low price it will sell quick, if you sell at market price you may be hanging onto it for a while.

    I am thinking 200 to 300 as well. But pull it out from the scrap and get a better picture of it first. Especially a pic showing the tires being good.

    To use that trailer for scrap, the roof would need to be cut off, but I like where you went with the idea.

    I'd bet that roof/cover is either hinged or detaches easily. Looks like a great little trailer for scrapping...could be towed by smaller car and be much more convenient to load stuff. Lockable hasps on cover would provide security for all your buckets you have in there.

    whatever you do, don't scrap it

    Either use it for your scrap collecting, or sell it. You'll get much more money from it by selling it. Even if you get $100 bucks selling it, I'm guessing that it is not going to bring anywhere near that in scrap.
