If I were getting into that game those trailers would be near the top of my shopping list.
Tons of features at a competitive price. :thumb

I remain to be convinced that they are "well priced", considering that I can buy a brand new heavy duty 6x4 galvanized trailer for around $1,000, or an enclosed tradies trailer for around $1,800. I suspect bike trailers are priced for what the market will stand, and not for what they cost to make, plus a reasonable profit margin. Having said that, they do look like a nice unit.

I guess that's marketing in a nutshell.
I was probably thinking in terms of what similar trailers cost.
One hidden cost is getting a specialist item like that ADR approved.

in building mine using all new full price components but not including labour of course it cost truck loads less, and mine has even got a camper top
plus add $1k to have it freighted anywhere
dont forget at the end of the day its just a small tin box on a set of mini wheels
well priced? not to me
