Default Trailer value

I have a 16' x 7' flatbed trailer, steel frame, wood planking. It has
tandem axles, electric brakes, and is a factory made trailer. The ramps
slide under the back from the sides. It has a spare. It has a battery box
with battery for the electric brakes, I assume.

What price range would a trailer like that sell for? It is not cosmetically
perfect, it is a '99. It is solid, though, and everything works. I'm just
trying to set a value on it in my quest for a larger trailer for my backhoe.

Steve

What would you pay for it if you needed it?

The capacity is based on the rated axle gross weight or check the tire
max load rating.

I am guessing, then, that you can sell it for $1k relatively easily.
