The future sucks

Years ago I bought a brand new flat bed trailer, 5k axles, 18' long for $2500.  I can't even find one used for that price now.  The same trailer new will cost me $3500-$4k now and even used is still commanding that price if you can even find one.  I am in need of a new flat bed as the one I share with my BIL is going to NY with him.  I have about $3k but it looks as though I will be getting a 7k trailer instead of 10k.  I rarely haul anything that heavy anymore but I still like the thought of having more capacity than needed.  Any recommendations for trailer sales in my area, I should be out shopping in a week or two.

Ya, and I paid $33,000 for my first house in California.  I've been looking and they are all $500,000 plus now.  Go figure.

Well I got lucky, the place my sister ended up buying in New York only had 2 acres.  Her husband felt that wasn't enough property to justify the size of the tractor they had so he sold it and I bought him out of the trailer before they left.  My only gripe is that it's a dove tail, would rather have a flat deck but at least it's a 10k trailer.  Already putting it to use though.
