Utility Trailer?

Saves registration, insurance and storage if that is a problem.

We have considered this and looked at costs. My son needs to move out of his apartment in 2 weeks, and he doesn't begin his next phase of life in Maine July 1st. So between now and then he will need to store his stuff somewhere (not at home, please!!!), and then get it all to Maine, and then a return trip next year (next phase in only one year). And I could use the trailer for some work at home anyway, and possibly holding some garage stuff when not in use elsewhere. So I'm looking into the options out there, and the costs involved. Insurance I had forgotten about, another cost!

Looks like 6x10; 6x12's are around $3000; and 7x16 are around $5000.

The Craigs list idea is a good one! I'll go check that out

I am in the market for a enclosed cargo utility trailer (moving some children from college to the real world over the next few years). I'm looking at ones that are 6x10;6x12 and one that is 7x16. I've tried to find info on pricing for these such as you might find for cars, rv's etc., but can't seem to find info on these. Does anyone have any idea where I might find such info. I'm looking at prices and they all come in a similar ballpark, but am wondering about differences between MSRP and actual sales before I offer a price on some of these. Thanks for any info you may have!

I know children can be annoying but why can't they ride in the car with you???:W
Just kidding. I've seen some good deals on some in craigslist.

Not sure how it is today, but 6-10 years ago in this world you paid asking price or didn't buy. They were somewhat hard to get and in high demand.
