Default How much is this trailer worth if priced for quick sale

Cronkhite, 15k trailer, three axles, drive on ramps, plenty of rust,
wood is 6 out of 10. Trailer is structurally solid and brakes, lights
etc all work.

How much should I ask to sell it in a month or two?

The price will be very subject to the area. Here I would expect it to
be 2-3,000 if the lights work, hitch in good shape, useable tires, and
the deck does not need instant replacement.

Deduct accordingly for any thing less.

White Oak, Treated SYP or well sealed Hemlock. If it was an enclosed
unit then I would use Apitong.

By that, I assume you got a clear title and the thing is licensed?

There was no hanky panky.

I got a clear title. In fact, I registered it at my DMV today and I
will get a title in my own name in 10 days.

The last safety inspection on it was in 2010, so I would need to
reinspect it and then I can sell it.

In my state, trailers are all titled, except equipment trailers with
equipment permanently fixed to them (like welder trailers).

In Florida, they don't get titled until they exceed a certain gross weight,
which, IIRC, is 12,000 lbs. That trailer would sort of come close to the
margin of titleable, or not.

That's many states but certainly there's a wide disparity in rules...

I'd bet even the "equipment trailers" in IL would have to be after some
size limit is reached...

And I personally disagree with this policy. A trailer with, say, a
welder on it is more valuable than just a trailer. Why open a door and
let thieves steal it without having to worry about a title?

"Doesn't Have To be titled" doesn't mean it can't be.

California lowered the registration fees on utility trailers a LOT,
somewhere under $5 a year due every 5 years, to the point where it
isn't an onerous duty to pay them - especially on Special Equipment
trailers that never had to be titled and registered unless you wanted
to do it.

And Tow Dollies were made totally exempt, since they don't carry any
cargo at all - the tow vehicle is registered, the car under tow is
registered, Done. My problem is, I have an old DEMCO Kar Kaddy 280
Tow Dolly that was never titled, and I have to decide whether it's
worth the trouble to get it done.

Mainly because the VIN was typed on a sticker and covered with clear
vinyl ~25 years ago and is totally unreadable today, and when I called
DEMCO they said "No, we never stamped any portion of the VIN on the
rails, it's only on the sticker..." Isn't that a violation of FMVSS?
Every other trailer I've ever seen has it stamped on the tongue,
and/or a stamped metal tag riveted to the chassis rails.

Now I have to get a State Assigned VIN before I can do anything with
it.
