This past weekend, I went and visited a machine shop in the middle of nowhere Alabama. I spent a greater part of the day wandering between 10+ lathes, mills, and dozens of cars and such. Think of the places those picker shows would drool over. Anyway, near the end of my day, I spied a M416/100 trailer sitting out with a new-ish ball receiver. I asked the guy we had spent the day with what he knows about it, to which he replied it was just another hunk of metal on his land. He said he'd easily be willing to part with it, but neither of us could come up with a fair number.
If you don't know what they look like:
I know nothing about these and wasn't even considering it, but the potential was without a doubt there. This is a good guy and I didn't want to risk hurting our short relationship by low-balling with the reasonable amount of cash in my pocket. The condition is comparable to the picture above and it needs to be media blasted and recoated.
Can someone help me out with some info and maybe a value? I would use it for the next 2 years or so as a standard trailer (I move too much right now) and then go all expo on it. Its probably not going to move anytime soon, so I'm not in a rush to get a dollar amount to him.
