Select non LQ, 2H GN trailers of any brand, any price, anywhere. What do you find? Many dealers trying to sell BP trailers under this listing. If you again go back to selecting the criteria, and select BP that's what you get, no or few GN trailer being advertised under this listing. Do the dealers think that we are so ignorant, as to not to know the differences between the two types of trailers? Isn't it obvious? Don't the dealers know? Would you purchase a trailer from someone who had no clue about the product he's selling? One or two mistakes is expected. Would you purchase a trailer from someone who was conducting a misrepresentation or is lazy in his business dealings? |

Trying to slip the BP trailers in between the goosenecks... Try looking up a 2+1 trailer... They may be listed under 2 horse or 3 horse.... Some of the two horse side ramp trailers may be listed as a three horse... Some folks don't pay attention to what they are doing when listing... Some folks doing the listing don't know a gooseneck from a bumperpull, side ramp, 2+1, straight, slant, etc... These are the same folks that will tell you that a steel frame aluminum skin trailer is... ALL ALUMINUM!!! I try not to do business with these folks. |

| I suggest that alot of dealers don't use, or have the knowledge of how to REALLY use, this site to properly advertise their trailers. Some owners let their sec. or a new sales assoc. place the ads because they won't take the time to learn how. |

It is not nearly as bad on other sites, so I wonder if it is something about the HTW entry screen for sellers???

We can in the description say 2 Plus or 2 w/ side ramp which we always try to do. |

What the letters stand for, can't be too challenging to figure out. |

I think that whoever is setting up the description is just lazy and isn't paying attention to the details. |

Irritates the life out of me. |

| OK- I understand most all of this, but now look at this- http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=239507 I did a search for the CPO Certified Pre-owned trailers listed on this site. There were 96. Fully 1/2 looked to be brand new units that were listed as CPO. What gives with this?? |

Here's more on the CPO trailers..... http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/cpo.asp I think some of the dealers leave the CPO icon on all of their ads... Lets the shopper know they sell CPO trailers as well as new. My guess.
