The seller needs some education regarding the definition of the word "profit"

Spending $20k+ on a trailer to then sell it for "$12k to $17k" does not net any profit.

At least it is already painted that desirable pink.

I know we've all seen ones that are probably in $500-$1K as-found at best condition, and the seller is asking $5K and always says something like, "a spit-shine and some new tires and this baby could be sold for $15K!"

Sadly, I think some people fall for this. I might have if I hadn't stumbled across this forum many months ago and began educating myself.

So, thanks everybody! You have probably saved me from a $4K-$5K mistake.

(Although you've also probably doomed me to a $30K, 3-year-long, labor of love! )

You were doomed when you first saw that aluminum... now you just know what you're in for up front.

Wow...I'll bet the frame is still good and maybe the axles. Not sure what else would be salvagable?

Since it looks like it rolled, I wouldn't expect the frame to be unscathed. It could likely be pulled back into alignment though, but not worth the money the guy is asking.
