What's it worth?

[TCRanch]

We have a 2007 E-Z haul 27' flat bed trailer, gooseneck. 2 10,000 brake axels, 2 10K jacks, 5' fold up ramps, pop up center & a tool box. Guy that's done fencing for us wants to buy it. Wasn't for sale but it's essentially yard art - haven't used it in years except to keep all the implements off the ground.

Any ideas on what it's worth or a fair price, market value? Haven't seen anything comparable online - at least not around here.

Heck if I know.... $100 foot = $2,700 .... tire rot?
Did you ask what he was thinking he'd pay for a trailer of the quality you have when he brought up the subject?

22+5 or 27+5??
Tandem doubles right
Good tires , floor , lights, and title
3500.00
4500.00

I got cash.

27' of wood, tandem, tires should be good, floor is definitely good, lights & title. There may be a couple wasp nests in the gooseneck (those red @#$tards!). He's hauled 14 5x6 bales of hay in one load, both Polaris Rangers, the tractor, loader . . . yeah, that's about all we've ever used it for.

I like cash!

He started off offering $2K, jumped up to $4K after a polite but firm NO thanks. Interested party likes to work off his debt. And I would be leery of accepting his check. He's a good worker when he shows up, does a quality job but . . . .

If it's dual wheels I'd say 5k easy.

Yep. I haven't seen it but I'm thinking more like $6500.

I think $4,000 is a fair offer.
Tires can be so deceptive, sitting outside for years with weight on bed is not easy on tires.
I'd counter with $4500 cash or $5,000 on work release sale.

In my area, fair market would be $6k minus any repairs needed.

If it has the tires that came on it, then it's going to need them whether they have 95% tread or not.

I've been new trailer shopping, and something similar on paper will cost $11-15K new, depending on make and quality. I have a 2007 that is similar to yours, on paper, with nearly a million miles on it. It's not for sale, but would be easy to sell for $6K or so. The quality of E-Z haul would be the big variable.

We're essentially in the same area, 5k give or take a few hundred. I looked at a bunch of them before I bought the one I did, its somewhere in this forum, for 3800. My needs were different, a lowboy, but I ran through a bunch of ads that described what you have in the process.

Tell us what you found funny about it

Thanks for the input! Settled for $4K, mainly because the tires will prob have to be replaced. Plus he's young, trying to grow his business & he's a good kid. But cash only. He wanted to work it off or make payments but we've been down that road before: last guy took 4 years to pay off $5K for a small tractor. There's a huge, annual consignment sale at the Sale Barn in Feb so he's going to sell some smaller trailers to come up with the cash.

 

[TCRanch]

Well I'll be darned. Never happened, we pretty much forgot about it. The guy showed up yesterday with $4K cash and he installed a new gate today in exchange for a cake feeder that was also yard art, hadn't been used in years. Gave him the title, told him to fill in whatever amount he wanted, everybody's happy. :banana:
