Trailer

[Busted Knuckle]

Ace,
Looks like it would be a nice project.
As you noticed on your trip to look at it that wiring is a mess & needs cut off and redone properly to avoid future continuous problems.
6 new tires in the proper size/range are going to set you back a good bit.
The cabinetry ~ well you know better than the rest of us what kinda materials and your time that it's gonna take. (your time is $ too!)
The lift repairs may or may not be expensive, but again your time is $ too!

I'd guess with his choice of advertising locations he is probably hoping for a big $ pocket buyer to buy it sight unseen and have it picked up or delivered by a 3rd party. (that way the buyer would have to "eat" the repair costs after the sale, which is probably why he isn't returning your calls!)

Like I said could be a nice project, but it's not a steal @ that price with all that you know it needs! (not counting hidden issues you don't know about yet!)

Ok FINALLY we made contact! The seller called me thinking I was a busy business man and didn't want to be bothered! We BOTH had a good laugh!
Anyway, I made my offer and the good thing is he didn't hang up. He DID say that although the trailer has been listed at busforsale for quite a while that when and if he sells it he needs to give them 2k for the listing commission, but he also said since they are business friends for a long time that he would call them tomorrow and try to get that fee waived or at least reduced!
When I talked to them trying to find out the seller info, they sort of told me here it is and make your own deal which kind of tells me that since its been so long and unsold that they just might want out of the loop!
Anyway I should know sometime tomorrow if a deal can be struck!
It's a good project like BK. stated for the price I offered but definitely not what he has it listed for. Too many others cheaper in better shape except the travel time out of state to retrieve it!
Here's hoping for a great Tuesday!

The trailer deal is a no go! It seems John spellings had this trailer listed for about a year and a half and  the owner not really pushing to sell it but after the owner talked to JS, JS advised him not to sell for my offer because he felt he could get more!
Ok I offered him 16k after seeing it in person. He was asking 26,900 but said he would take 22,400.
After my offer he Said he had to pay JS 2k for listing it but IMHO  a bit high. He said he would try to get them to either lower the fee or waive the fee.
After all said and done, the fee is still 2k and the price is still 22,400

Both are crazier than hell!

The search continues!
