$2,400 for a tandem axle 7,000 # with new tires and brakes sounds like a fair price to me. Here $2,200 would be a great deal. I spent $1,700 Tax included on a custom made 6x12 3,500# With rubber torsion axle, sealed lights, gate, 15" radials, spare, marine jack. I would just keep watching eBay but I would think a median price for a decent used one would be around $,1,500.

Doc, it seems to vary a lot by where you live. In Albuquerque, you can get a new trailer like the one described for $1500. It seems that the same price is good in TX and AL. For some, it may be worth a drive.

I guess I am a little confused. there is only a $200 difference and that was because of custom features I had put on mine, That is unless you are saying you can get a new steel 7,000# trailer with new tires AND brakes for $1,500. I know there are a WHOLE LOT of trailer manufactures in Texas so I am not suprised they might be a bit lower but I doubt you can drive from the New england area and back with fuel and hotels for under $400. I think some how we are not compareing apples to apples, but I certainly have been wrong before.

Here is a link to manufacturer in Texas. Best trailer for the money I have come across. Shipping to NY is $295, can't get much further away than that.

If you don't mind driving a ways, I would suggest Ja-Mar Trailer. I have had one for over 10 years and it is still in great shape. They go the extra mile when it comes to welds, material thickness, and overal quality. I also contracted through them for some special use trailers for the 101st Airborne which turned out fantastic. Jim Brewer is the president and he is there on sight everyday running the operation. He has ready made trailers and will make to your specs. as well. I highly recommend him!

Doc, I don't know Jack Squat about deer blinds or Venian Blinds, but this is something I found.

I don't know what shipping would cost, but I just purchased a Perkins trailer here in the Houston, Tx. area. I got a 16' tandem, 7000lbs., pipe top, bulldog hitch, electric brakes, brake-away kit, treated lumber, 5' slide in ramps, 4" wrapped tongue, diamond plate tear-drop fenders, new tires with silver mod. wheels, new spare tire with silver mod. wheels and mount, and painted John Deere green for $1439.00.

Perkins is only one of two manufactures in this area that offers a lifetime warranty on the frame of the trailer. Iron Hores is another, but they do a very poor paint job on the trailer. Not to mention, they paint the trailer after the boards are in placed. Overspray gets all over the boards and looks cheap. Perkins does not place the boards on the trailer until it has been painted with two coats of industrial paint. They make a very nice trailer. I have received numerous compliments.

If you are looking at a trailer that has only a one year warranty, look at the welding underneath the trailer. Make sure that every edge is welded completely. If not, you may have problems later. I looked at a Road Master Trailer and noticed the underneath of the trailer was not welded very good. This trailer only had a one year warranty. I even questioned the salesman about the welds and he could not answer why the underneath was not welded.

Here the Home Depot and Lowes both sell lower end trailers. They are a lot less $ but if you only tow every now and then they should be fine. You might give them a try.
