Default Going rate on used horse trailers, 2000 - 2005?

Is there a bluebook on used horse trailer prices??? I started surfing around US sites looking at horse trailers, and either they're WAY less expensive used than in Canada, or there are a whole lotta scammer ads out there

What should I expect to pay for:
- 2h (slant or straight)
- bumper pull
- tack storage
- WB sized (7'6") tall
- local runabaout type trailer for going to a trailhead, local shows etc.
- 5-10 years old

Sorry, but there is no "blue book" for horse trailers.

The best thing is spend some time on the various "trailers for sale" websites and see what you can find that might match your needs. This is time consuming but it's the only way I know of to get a "snapshot" of the market.

Remember, too, that right now in the U.S. horse-related goods of all types are selling at a deep discount. The average "asking price" that you'll develop from your research will likely take a 25% (more or less) reduction to selling price.

Good luck in your search.

FWIW, I just sold my Titan Avalanche that fits your description for $4500 (2004, slant load, BP, warmblood size, large tack room) It was in almost perfect condition.
