I have a friend that bought a used trailer and was planning to fix it up. After a couple of weeks he decided the project was too big and expensive to tackle. He thinks he should get his money back and I think he's crazy, since he inspected it before he bought it. Who's right?

The rule of thumb is, unless he bought the trailer from a dealer, it was sold as is, where is, no warranties expressed or implied and all sales are final.

he look at the trailer before he bought it, so he know what he was getting. Because he took on the job that he can not do that is his problem. Tell him to sell the trailer.

In the instance of a private sale, the terms as is, no warranty etc, are assumed unless otherwise stated in a contractural form.
When a vehicle is purchased from a dealer, it is assumed that there is a warranty unless the dealer states otherwise. A dealer is held to more standards and has to specify in writing, what he will not do.

Plus dealers try NOT to create bad feelings with their customers and all future customers a happy customer can potentially generate...

Duckman .. Your friend reached an agreement with the seller of the trailer. The seller has no obligation to take the trailer back just because the friend changed his mind. The seller "might" take it back if: He has a better offer for it; he changed his mind too; the friend will take less money than the sale price.... if, if ...if
