What’s it worth?

[Jerry]

Not worth enough to sell, but a credit to you how well it looks. If you're that kind to machinery, keep it as a second box, or take off the box for a field shelter and get a headboard made to give yourself a handy flatbed.

It does nit really owe me anything but not really big enough and I hate putting in and taking out the decks.

 

[Bob c]

Dare I ask what you traded it in against?

2 nd hand dp120

 

[Nithsdale]

I put this on FB, 20 yrs old fold down decks, asked £1500+ vat . We had a lot of interest and sold without viewing for asking price, someone offered£100 more after we'd sold it!!View attachment 920742

Good to know. I've a 2001, 12ft here. Been a great trailer

Pressure wash it off with a decent detergent to shine it up like @hill farmer and you’ll add £500.

Probably big enough for cows if it doesn't owe you anything how about keeping it for moving cows and buy a new trailer with deck's for sheep (but only a gamic with be acceptable)

my dp120 is 1987 still regulary carry 3500 or so well made trailer weakest point being brake backing plates but not too hard to replace

I’d agree with all of that. It has to be worth £1000+, if not it surely wants keeping to move cattle about, or as a handy flatbed.

(Having been enlightened myself, I’d agree with the bit in brackets too).

Got two flat beds already. One with ramps so don’t really need another to be fair.

(I fear a gamic might be overkill for me, but yes they look the mutts nuts)

Shine it up and put it on eBay, or a local collective sale. Then you can scratch your head in bewilderment when you see what folks will bid an old trailer up to.

 

[Zebbedee]

Upwards of £1500 would be my guess and probably nearer to 2k in a collective sale here in north Scotland from what I see

If that makes 2k I’ll eat my hat

Yea I say that a lot at sales here but very often surprised seems to be it’s sitting in front of them and they need one so up the hand goes also not everyone wants a new one and tbh the one in question does look decent age means very little

May be worth putting in the stags online sale with a high reserve, no sale no fee.

When is there next one? I sold a raft of crap in the recent Heard’s one and made over £2k for a pile of junk

 

[carpenter1]

Soon, think it starts this week,
Just looked starts on Thursday.
Worth a shot with high reserve

Worth a punt.

Thanks.

Like you said its surprising what people are paying at the minute

I see Brightwells had 4 or 5 on their sale last week, think they all made over 2k

You might need a slightly better sales pitch than that though....
