How to Sell a Trailer?

There are many ways to sell a trailer, but the two main sources customers most often utilize are online marketplaces or weekly automotive circulars. Sites (and printed posts) such as Kelly Blue Book are a great way to connect buyers and sellers for all types of vehicles and vehicular accessories.

1. You can post your trailer on these sites since they will be the sites that people frequent most often.

2. Create a post using keywords a buyer is most likely to use (for example, trailer, condition, two- or 4-wheels, and son).

3. Give a description of the trailer, detailing its age, condition, any amenities included with the trailer (such as hookups for water or gas, storage, lock system), and the condition of the tires.

4. Provide a listed sale price and if you are willing to negotiate on the listing or not.

5. Include a way for an interested seller to contact you.

   • Note, if this is done online, most classifieds related sites will provide a confidential way for an interested person to contact you so that you do not need to post your contact information publicly.

6. Once you have posted your trailer, remember to refresh your listing every week or so to make sure it appears at the top of the search listings.
