My trailer is on e-bay, I only put it on yesterday, its an old Rice double trailer, quite good condition, nice and light to tow, new floor with thick rubber matting on top, new mudguards and all electrics and lights work fine . I have started it at £300 and I have one bid already and 16 watchers. It doesn't end until Sunday. Do you reckon it will go up much more ??

you never can tell

but my son has sold a few cars on ebay and has always got pretty near what he wanted--so you might just be lucky

I would have thought so with that many watchers - hope you get paid. I sold a saddle recently and the buyer pulled out after the auction ended. I'm so annoyed!

Good luck.

I reckon it will, you will get a flurry at the last minute, this happened to me when I was looking for a trailer, I constantly got outbid right at the last minute. I bought a friend's in the end,kRice double with side and back unload, sounds very similar to yours, but mine needs work. I paid £600 for it, so you will probably get more.:)

Yes this is my worry, I have bought quite alot on e-bay but don't have much experiance selling. Fingers crossed !! I think it's a realistic starting price, but I would love to get nearer to £400 for it.

Mine is rear load and unload, and could do with a lick of paint, so really not sure.

I have been watching trailers on ebay for a few months now, hoping to buy one soon. I do think it will go up a fair whack.

I sold an old rice beaufort on e bay 3 years ago - double front and rear unload but floor needed a bit of work and got £800 - in the end I had two bidders who lived locally bidding for it and they both came to see it too. It was a real battle at the end of the auction! Hang on in there, it will go up I am sure

I sold my ifor on ebay, it went up hugely in the last 2 days and went for a lot more than I thought it would!

People tend to watch stuff 'til the last min on ebay then you get a bidding frenzy. it is nerve wracking waiting but I reckon you will get what you want especially as you have so many watchers AND someone has bid already. Good luck!

Will do. You never know with e-bay , the winning bidder may not even turn up, or turn up and not like the trailer !

Pedillia, if you want to have a look at it on e-bay, put in Rice Double Horse Trailer in st neots.

We bought our Rice on eBay, not in great condition, for £1150, so don't lose hope, you could get alot more than you expect! :)

Found it but I would need a front unload:)
I'm still lorry hunting though, then I'll wing round to yours pic up you (plus my borrowed jockey;)) then off we go:D

It would be great if that happened. With xmas getting nearer quickly and three kids it would be a great help.

Has it gone? Did you get what you wanted for it?

P.S I have my lorry now, currently in the worshop being plated:)
