There is no "book" source of trailer values, such as the automotive Kelly and NADA products. The best approach to establish a price, is to comparative shop by finding the selling prices of similar trailers. HTW and other Internet sites are a good resource.
Prices will fluctuate widely, depending on if it's being sold by a dealer or private individual, the geographic area, the local economy, time of the year, physical condition, accessories, etc.

There is a disk you can purchase called "Horse Trailer Blue Book". It costs roughly $80-$100 and is updated every year. Check out he website below for more info. It is useful in our office, especially where trade-ins are concerned.http://www.pricedigests.com/other/horsetrailerbook.htm

Yes, for a few trailer manufacutres you can go to www.nada.com.
Sundowner, 4-STAR, Trails West and I think one or two others are listed. Although they have tons of options listed, they do not list them all.
Such as my Sundowner has an extra 52 gallon water tank in the mangers, extra swingout blanket bars, rump side drop down windows and polished stainless steel lower side panels, none of these options are listed!
