Let me see if I understand the OP correctly:
You currently have an Andersen UH, but you need the lower version. For $500, they offered to "convert" your existing hitch. Or they're offering to give you some trade-in value on your existing hitch.
If that's the case, then here's my take on it. You're going to be hard pressed to find a good used hitch for less than $400 to $500 on CL. You can buy a brand new "decent" hitch for that.
But really, your problem is that you're riding too high in the first place. The Andersen is basically designed to be approx the same height as a traditional 5er hitch. So if you buy another hitch, I expect that you're still going to have the same issue. I own a regular 5er hitch for my other TV, and even at its lowest position, it still sits higher than my lowered Andersen UH.
If I understand your situation correctly, you either need to invest in the lower version of the Andersen UH or perform one of the various trailer-lift procedures.
