    The trailer is the best deal. You wouldn't find anyone willing to let that go for less than 400 around here.

    the same around here. He actually had $75 on it and i talked him down to $60. I had my other trailer fully loaded when i stopped and had to run 25 miles home to unhook other trailer and come back for it.

    I know that's right cause 10 years ago I got a 4x8 that looked way worse than that for 400 in California... bought one today for 1200 7x16 dbl axle with ramps.

    Nice haul, wish I got something like that every day.

    From what I'm told, the thing in the 4th picture is going to be a pretty tough sell. I have a guy who buys all my vintage audio equipment, and he didn't even want the one that I have. According to him, he can barely give them away. I hope you didn't pay too much for it

    I only paid $25 for the pile of electronics/steel including a 55 gallon drum not pictured. I wouldn't of paid that much but the vintage Atari set up intrigued me.

    The trailer of computers was our third load from that school district last week. they are complete and were just going to flip these as whole units by the pound
