I can't get the pictures to come up full size but, I can tell the  $ 15,000 
trailer is useless.  With most all the storage area _behind_ the axle, tongue 
weight will go negative with any load.  Empty tongue weight has to be near zero!

There is a trick to this kind of advertising, ask a super high price to gain 
exposure, then if someone offers half of the asking price take the money and 
run.

It might also be a "look what I built", (" I have no intent to sell")

As the story goes, the "Billy Beer" craze was started by a New York guy who 
placed a ad in the WSJ for a $ 1,000 six pack.  This got peoples interest so he 
then started offering ( under a different number) the same stuff at a greatly 
reduced ( but still inflated ) price.  The craze started when rumors of 
someone paying $ 1,000 for a 6.  " Gee, at 300 the stuff is a bargain, I can 
turn 
it over and make a fast buck"   

Beanie Babies, Baseball cards, Teddy Ruxpin and other fad collectibles are no 
different.
