Up to $710 without hiting the reserve. Any bets on what this guy thinks it's minimum worth is?

Post by: brainpause on Mar 26, 2005, 05:09 AM
I bet his reserve is $5 or so.

"Trailer Hitch Receiver at End of Rear Deck" ????
What does he have in mind? A tandem towing arrangment?

Post by: griffsmom on Mar 26, 2005, 08:06 PM
He's up to $810, with 4 days, 20 hours remaining.  Reserve still not met.
 
I'm guessing he probably put his reserve at $1,000 to $1,500.

Me too!

$1104. and the reserve still isn't met ... makes a camper wonder ....

Just read the questions/answers about it ... this one is making me scratch my head since he says he had it weighed and it weighs in at 2020 lbs!!


 
 Q: Do you think a trike Motorcycle could pull it?
Answered on Mar-25-05
   A: I think the trike could pull it, because it rolls very easy. On a flat solid surface I can move it with one hand. However, It was designed to be at the same hight as my 4" lifted ford pickup. The hitch up would be a serious mismatch. If I can I will add a picture of the trailer attached to the truck.

"Seven Flat Prong Electrical Connector"
 
Ok I have seen 4 flat and 7 round, has anyone seen one of these?  I asked a question about the handles on the roof and if it is a crank up lift system.

I haven't seen a seven flat connector. Maybe he had a SPUT with a 7 round.  :D

I am pretty sure it is not a crank-up type. Those arms look like the spring-loaded type arms on a Palomino like mine (even though it is a Coachmen).

Oh my gosh! And I was just kidding about the tandem rig idea. I'm sure that isn't even legal here in New York.

He's up to $1,461.77 and the reserve is still not met.

Wow!!
Title:
Post by: mike4947 on Mar 29, 2005, 08:54 PM
I'm betting the reseve is $2500.

and that tandem rig is illegal in IIRC 45 states. Most states that do allow double towing require the first trailer to be a 5'er. NYS doesn't allow any double non commercial towing.

He probably read Mike's post and thought it better to just unload the thing! :D
 
Edited to add:  Bidding has ended.  Winning bid was $1,461.77, but it still didn't meet the reserve, even after he lowered it.
