🛞 8'x12' Utility Trailer — Liquidation Plan
Updated: Aug 29, 2026 · Deadline: House closes Oct 4 Location: Bastrop / Lockhart, TX
The Trailer
8'x12' single-axle utility trailer (Tractor Supply style — like Agri Supply 76"x12' models). Fold-down ramp gate.
📊 Market
- New comparable 8'x12' single-axle (Agri Supply / Tractor Supply): ~$1,800 – $2,500
- Used private-party in decent shape: $800 – $1,500
💰 Valuation
| Scenario | Est. Value |
|---|---|
| Private-party | $1,000 – $1,500 |
| Quick-sale | $800 – $1,000 |
| Cash buyer | $500 – $800 |
🎯 Pricing Strategy
- List at $1,500, settle $1,200–1,400. It's the cheapest item — low friction, cash on the spot.
- This is the fastest mover of the lot. Expect a same-day or next-day sale. Don't overprice and miss the Oct 4 window over a thousand bucks.
- Priced under $1K, it'll fly to a landscaper, rancher, or DIYer in the immediate area.
📣 Where to List
- Facebook Marketplace — overwhelmingly #1 for utility trailers. Local Bastrop/Lockhart buyers.
- Craigslist Austin — trailers section, free.
- Nextdoor — neighbors in Bastrop/Lockhart; great for a quick cash sale.
Skip dealers/heavy-equipment sites — overkill for this.
📝 Draft Listing
8'x12' Utility Trailer — single axle, ramp gate — $1,500
Tractor Supply–style 8'x12' single-axle utility trailer with fold-down ramp gate. Great for firewood, hay, debris, ATVs, dump runs. Solid metal floor, registered [or: clean title].
$1,500 obo · Call/text [YOUR NUMBER] · Bastrop/Lockhart, TX. Cash, take today.
⚠️ Notes & Gotchas
- Confirm title/registration status before listing — TX requires title for trailers; a clean titled trailer sells far faster than one with no paperwork.
- Check tires + bearings — if it sat, tires may be aged; a road-worthy trailer beats a "project."
- Check for rust — Texas trailers usually clean, but the floor/ramp can rot. State honest condition.
- Cash only, in person — it's the cheapest item and the #1 scam target pool on FB Marketplace.
✔️ Pre-Listing Checklist
- [ ] Confirm title in hand + registration status
- [ ] Check tires (age/dry rot) + bearings + lights
- [ ] Photo: full side, front, ramp gate down, bed
- [ ] Clean it — a clean $1,300 sells faster than a dusty $1,500
- [ ] Post FB Marketplace + Craigslist
