Thread: Anyone planning to sell a No. 5 trailer?

So I just put a deposit on a trailer.

Thanks heaps for all the advice.

I haggled one down from 1700 to 1200 at a machinery dealer in Geelong.

The same place I got my Perentie.
they are about 3 hours away and are willing to deliver to the queenscliff ferry for me, free of charge.

After much consideration and research, this seemed to be the least troublesome method of obtaining one.

Makes sense - well done on your purchase ! They are a solid piece of kit.

Going on the current auction on the graysonline site, Victorians sure are enthusiastic trailer buyers

They are not in pristine condition but appear straight from the road. A couple are camo (faded) but others are plain green. None have canopies.

They're Crump & Cornish 1 ton cargo trailers.

Geez, I would like to have them.

Yeah when the only two trailers hit $900 on the first day, I concluded that victorians clearly don't understand sniping.
They hit 1300 each this morning and I began considering other options...

minto has sweet prics but add 6% and $600 for shipping and I'm well on the way to a custom trailer.

I will need a canopy though.
I think I saw sone on ebay at some point.

Failing that I know a local canvas guy who's quite proficient.

Supply and demand.
They don't usually have trailers in the Vic auctions. If they do, it's only one or two.

Can't snipe on the Greys auctions. After the auction end time, the auction for an item remains open until ten minutes after the last bid.

Yes I'm aware of that - having won a few things there before.

But it's people who just want to havd their hand on the item to make sure it doesn't go anywhere... they end up paying far too much.

I think minto bidders are more experienced as a result of more regular auctions.
