The Tale of a Car Trailer for Sale

With any item up for sale, one will never know the story behind the story - the actual reason for the advertisement in the classifieds section of the local newspaper. Let's use a car trailer for sale for the explanation of this statement. The first strange thing about such an advertisement is the wording - "car trailer for sale". Is this a trailer onto which cars are loaded to be transported, or is this a trailer to be hitched behind a car?

Let's imagine that the trailer was designed and made as a general purpose trailer a couple of years ago and was sold to a young family with two small kids. The trailer was originally intended to act as a baggage carrier on weekends and, of course, on that ever so important annual leave, which seemed rather more than an annual pilgrimage to the sea. Boy, would it be loaded Prams, playpens, buckets, spades, groceries, booze, bedding, fishing tackle, you name it. While it was somewhat overloaded and overworked, for that matter, without a drop of oil or a smear of grease sometimes to keep the trailer happy and fully functional, it simply carried on dutifully.

On the second year, the guy - the dad of the two babies - discovered that the trailers' lid could be removed. Now all of a sudden, the trailer was being used to cart bricks, sand, cement, building timber and other things because baby number one had to have its own bedroom. Then, of course, all the rubble had to be removed and the back agony started all over again. Ouch The scratches and lacerations were so demeaning to the poor trailer. Before long, the trailer was overworked and advertised as "car trailer for sale" - just like that

The moral of the story is that it is very easy to be misled by an advertisement that simply states "car trailer for sale" - it should in fact state: Dilapidated, scratched and worn out trailer sold for much more that it is actually worth" Before investing in a car trailer for sale, make sure that you investigate the history of the trailer.
