M10102 military trailer. Sell or keep?

Hey TW folks

I have a neighbor that has an M10102 military trailer in her yard. I’ve expressed interest in buying this trailer from her but she thinks it’s worth a few thousand dollars, The sticker has a price tag of 3,800+ But I’m finding them online for $500 all day long.
For anyone familiar with these trailers they’re pretty badass! Dump bed, high ground clearance, auto braking system, made by the military and presumably indestructible.

Here are some pics


My wife is going to be organizing a huge garage sale for this lady and she wants to put this up for sale.
I’m debating on whether to sell it or buy it myself.
I would like to know what you guys use these for and what mods or additions y’all would recommend.
Also if I do sell it what my asking price should be.

Thanks everyone!!

 

I had one YEARS ago. Loved it. But the electrical was a little finicky. Also I don't think I ever got the brakes to work. I wouldn't pay more than $1000 for one unless it was 100% road worthy.

I used mine for camping. Threw everything in the "bed" and took off. Mine I made a canvas top for it and support arms out of 1" EMT. We slept in it one camping trip that flooded out the area on our 3rd day out.

I felt it was a little big for my TJ. I would also feel like it would be a little big for a Taco.

Steelsoilders.com is a real good resource.

 

I have one with a rack to hold 2 roof tents. Paid $2400, with reworked electrics, electric brakes, Toyota 6 lug hub conversion and 100% road ready. The trailer above is not one I’d pay $3,800 for, and agree with $1,000 tops.
Good luck.
