Overpriced trailers

Regularly seeing used ifors advertised 20-30% above new price.
Appreciate there's supply issues etc but is anyone actually buying trailers at £1000+ more than new for a used trailer?
Saw a brand new 14ft tri ale with ramps in a sale yesterday made about £200 more than new which looked cheap at the side of these

I bought a brand new triaxle 3 years ago at less than second hand prices so it is nothing new.
Back then it was said to be due to long lead times but I went to IWT to buy it and brought it home 2 days later, not much of a lead time.
 
People are often unaware of what stuff costs new, I sold a few things on for more than I paid them new knowing people would be clueless to what it actually cost!
It will settle down I’m sure with time
Very true, a lot of people see a second hand price and think "if that's what it costs second hand i ain't pricing a new one" unaware it could be cheaper.
In reply to the op I've seen dealers advertising dropsides for more than tippers were 2 year ago so unless you already had a deal sorted it might be surprising what new is now.

I bought my 10x5 tipper ,last of the TT range Inc ramps and jack legs about 6 yrs ago,,It was 3200 second hand then another 500 to get the high mesh side kit ,,I could sell it now for 5k .
Spotted a brand new 10x5 on ebay ,,nearly 9k for the basic model no extras.

I gather Ifor are actively ringing people to see if they wish to sell their trailer. Buddy here had them on the phone the other day.
