Sell, Sell, and Sell Some More

   I was looking around the place for things that don't/won't work any more to sell but she refuses to leave? : :D

Now Mr. Green, with a statement like that I'm getting the impression your cruising for the big "D".
For your sake I hope she has a very good sense of humor.

Last week, I had my prime mover gooseneck cough up a lung when I had some unexpected issues with my brakes that caused some additional wiring issues.  So I took it in to get repaired and some of the parts were 8 weeks out.  Ouch!  It also had a few other minor problems such as one of the landing gear was broken, the wooden deck was beat up, and one of the wheel bearings was starting to rumble.  Basically, I had several thousand dollars of repairs to put into it to get ready for the next DOT inspection, and it had hauled into the millions of pounds and was on its third set of tires.  It had earned it's keep but I couldn't wait even a couple weeks to get it back on the road.

So the only gooseneck trailer on the lot was an upgrade to this one, and it was very similar to one I had several years ago.  So I said if we can make a deal, I'll write a check.

The dealer, who had sold me the old trailer in the first place not quite a decade ago, pulled up the original purchase order, thought for a second, and said that with all the issues it had, he said he could only pay me exactly what I paid for it way back then.  

I said "deal!"

Anyway, I have a brand new, shiny gooseneck and although it was expensive, with the trade in value of the other trailer, it wasn't too bad and I'm back in operation.  Hopefully it will last as long.

Yellowhammer all the stuff you had laying around that you sold for top dollar will help pay for it. Congratulations on the new trailer👍. When you get a chance let's see a picture of it! And of coarse with a load of wood 💪
