Ben Hur on Ebay...East Coast

Post by Bill_Wolf »

Nice looking Ben Hur. From the hole pattern in the bed it was probably a generator trailer.

Congratulations!

Looks like you got a heck of a good looking trailer at a great price.

Tires alone are worth $360

Good Job!

Bill;
I did not think I was going to "win", your right about the tire prices. It is only about 3 hour drive from my place

Again Congrats...I am jealous!

Sometimes the good deals do come along...Without spending as much again for trucking.

You should be able to find a landing leg with tire (used) at Gilbert. I think Tom Woldbolt may also have had some.

Good Luck and enjoy.

I think I was the one bidding against you. I was away at the last and forgot to load the auction on my snipe software. You got a heck of a deal. I am glad a fellow forum member got it. rgus
