What's This Trailer Worth?

I wouldn't even consider it.

I despise typing on my phone, so now that I'm at a computer... Run, don't walk, away from that one. Even if the welds were better, a trailer frame that has been repaired, especially there, you don't want it. The cross member is no big deal, but the main beam is. On a flat, look at the beam, exactly where that one was repaired. On a step deck, the same place, and around the step. Any repairs in those areas, move along.

Beyond repairs, all metals work harden, aluminum much faster than steel. Although its not always easy to spot, often you will see a slight difference in coloration/texture in those areas, and if you do... walk away.

Aluminum frames are heat treated/aged when they are built. Very few repair shops have the capabilities to do it. Its not a question of IF that repair will fail... Its a question of WHEN.

 

I can't zoom in on the picture, and can't really see much. With that in mind, if the only damage to this trailer is the ICC bumper... maybe the last couple inches of the frame before the bumper? I'd buy that one in a heart beat over any of the others. The condition of the frame behind the rear axle/bag mount is meaningless. If the bumper isn't in danger of messing with your tires, run 'er like she is... or, throw a couple bucks to a local welding shop to put a respectable looking bumper on.

I'd buy a combo over an aluminum everyday of the week, and twice on Sundays...

 

Check around the kingpin area for damage.
