I thought to custom utility trailers for sale ... I live in a busy street and I thought it would be easy to sell utility trailers that I want to do (buy the frame and building the rest from scratch). How are they difficult to do? What basic 1,500 pounds. ability to sell trailers? A website I found the part sells for $ 215 - $ 250 depending on the quantity ordered. They also sell another type of trailer frame imaginable (for those who are interested, utiltiytrailerkit.com).
So .... What do you think? buy them for $ 250, put another $ 150 in (or more?) and sell to, like, $ 750 - $ 900? Is it too much? About right? Your thoughts please ... thank you!
do not know where you are, but here we supply tractors and the sale of these trailers orscheln "lawn mower" if you buy the company executives to compete with these companies, they would be selling full trailer. not to mention the liability insurance, and the registration point. If you want to build 2 or 3 to sell to your buddies, go ahead, if you want to sell to the general public to consult a lawyer
Are you a certified welder? Can you provide liability insurance in case something breaks on one of your units? Too much can go wrong with your idea.
I agree with the other answer-ers. Dealing with the standards of the Department of Transportation and Department of Transportation is a huge pain. Also, you must consider the cost of everything you'll need, such as axles, hubs, springs, wheels, tires, wiring etc.
