I bought the pictured trailer used when it was 6 years old and paid a fair price. I used it for 5 seasons and sold it for what I paid. I'm sure my buyer could also sell it for the same price assuming he took care of it. The picture was taken when the trailer was 9 years old. Would you buy this trailer used?
I bought the trailer in my signature when it was 7 years old. It had never been slept in. I'll lose money on this one when I sell it years down the road but nothing like the beating the original purchaser took. Neither of these were "buy and use" trailers. They had some issues but nothing that wasn't easy to fix. Although I could afford to buy these trailers new I have to be honest with myself and admit I never would, too expensive. Buying used allows me to enjoy higher quality gear at lower cost.
