What condition?  A couple months ago before we bought our new Featherlite we were searching for used and dealers were getting about 8,000-10,000 for 10 year old trailers.  He told us our 2010 24 ft with two gates should be worth almost new price in 10 years if we keep it up.  We are in Minnesota, so I dont know if that has anything to do with it.

Trailers are weird when it comes to depreciation.  They certainly do go down in price at the beginning, but as new ones cost more and more, they reappreciate if kept in good shape.  I go to some of these auctions and I sometimes see some of these smaller trailers sell for the same or more of what you could buy a new one for.

Kinda like John Deere tractors.  Those 4020s sell for more now than they did off the assembly line.

I went looking for a good used trailer at a WILSON dealer and for the difference in price new  vs used i ended up buying a new trailer.
