    its funny, yet sad. i bought my trailer in 2005 for 5900.00 to my parents door in oregon delivered from texas.

    32 foot, 27 with 5 foot fold flat ramps and pop up center. twin 10k jacks, tri axle with 7k axles, 16 inch centers, side turn signals, torque tube, 19lbs I beam, spare tire, class 5 hitch with 7 and 4 prong wired up in the rear.
    5900.00 TO MY DOOR!

    the trailer priced out online from the same place is now 8605.00 NOT INCLUDING THE EXTRA HITCH OR DELIVERY!!!

    add the 350.00 for delivery they charged THEN as i am sure its more now, and then the 300.00 for the hitch THEN(again im sure its more now) and you get 9255.00. im sure to my door it would be 9500.00 as prices on everything have risen...

    since i dont really need this thing maybe i should sell it for more than i paid and buy a trailer that suites my needs now... with money in pocket... lol

    well, it would work well for me as i am going to be steping down in trailer size, but then i remember that i will be moving soon, so for now i am going to keep what i have and modify the container to be easier to load and unload from the trailer...
