I have found in selling horses and in selling a trailer that people are suspicous in whether they are getting screwed or not. Seems like they are always looking for an inperfection to get the price down as well. It sucks trying to sell stuff. I have had one person in which I had a check handed to me for close to the price that I actually wanted for a horse only to have them 6 hours later back out. This was due to buyers remorse. It is like people look for an excuse as to why they perhaps shouldn't buy something.

If the buyers are worried about used trailer even new trailers ,cars, everything can have a problem your trailer does not come with a warranty that is the true and that is it

Yes,well,now that's a whole different story,what the BUYERS think and do.I've had the same thing happen.Had a gal come look at a nice gelding I had for sale,and I do mean nice.Beautiful 16HH Missouri Foxtrotter with saddlebred looks.She rode him,her mother rode him,ect.She said she'd take him,and she was going home to get the money from some cattle she'd sold,and would bring the check back with her when she came to pick him up.WRONG.She called later,said,"I've found another horse that I think I want,it is closer to us,ect." Apparently she let a trailer trip keep her from a horse sale,I guess.She wanted us to haul him up there,and,we said we couldn't,we did not have the time available to us.She then said,"If you'd taken X--- for him,I would have gone ahead." I jumped right in the middle of her case with both feet,and said,in effect,"Why the hell did you waste our time by coming down here then telling a bald faced lie and saying you would buy him,going back home,then reneging because of the price? You knew what we were wanting for the horse when you left here,DINGBAT."
And,the stories could go on and on,but,I'll end here.

The stories COULD go on and on..had a friend in the horse trading business, a woman came out to look at them..rode EVERYTHING she had. Then told my friend she wasn't really looking to buy a horse, she just wanted to go for a ride. My friend, BTW, ripped her a new one...
