Tow dolly what do I need

I am not cheap, but thrifty as I saw tow dolly's on Ebay for around $500. What else do I need to complete a tow package, and how should I start and what are my possibilities...

When I was looking for a tow dolly the cheaper ones that I found on eBay or Craigslist needed more work than they were worth. If you go this route make sure you check it over well, including tire manufacturing dates.

I have a dolly that we certainly have established a routine to make it as short and simple as possible. But, having said that.... the biggest downside to having the dolly is that it requires two people to set it up, one to drive the car and another to direct that person onto the ramps and stopping points. Normally that's OK, but if one of you is not feeling well or doing other tasks, it sure puts a wrinkle in your set-up procedures.

If you are mechanically inclined you can save on some of the labor by doing things yourself, but you still have the cost of the components. If I had to do it all over again I would more than likely choose 4 down. JMHO
