I am STILL trying to sell my trailer and still very frustrated. I dropped the price again, and put it on every internet site I could possibly find. I got quite a few reponses, but never heard back from most of them. I still have one party that might be interested. This trailer is 5 years old but is virtually unused. Has probably less than 1,500 miles. It is in like new condition. Somebody could basically get a like new trailer for for less than half the cost of buying one new.
So, finally to my question, would making a video help? I would video tape the trailer inside and out, open and close all the doors to demonstrate everything worked and was quiet. Could close up the tires and the walls to show they are in good condition and no dents.
Would anybody out there trailer shopping feel more comfortable if they had a video of the trailer they were looking at?

Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time selling it.
WRT Video: I don't think it would make much/any difference for me. I like to see/touch/feel/walk-around what I buy and I rarely buy on a first visit. This comes down to shopping within about a 50 mile radius.
I think a video might send me a signal that the seller was getting DESPARATE (-:

Sigh..... Oh well. At some point I guess the price will get low enough to make it worthwhile to someone! I guess I need to decide how low I can stand to go, knowing I am already taking a huge loss. The more years that go by, the less value it has anyway, and until it is sold I can't get the trailer I need. I'm just not cut out for this buying and selling thing! 55

The trailer I currently have I bought from a gal who had made a video of it. I think the video idea is a great idea. It helped me in my decision to purchase it. The video showed all around the outside, the horse area, the LQ area. When you make the video move slow!!! That way the viewer can take everything in and see what the trailer looks like.
I looked at your ad and it is a nice trailer!Make a video and mention in your ad that you have a video available and you may get more responses. The only downside is shipping them out and not getting them back and it can be time consuming to be mailing them, etc. But if you are this anxious to move it, what the heck.
