Platinum Trailers, any good?

[Comfortablynumb]

G'day;

As the title suggests, are these trailers any good or are they complete rubbish. I cannot find much about them online at all. Hoping for some real world experience.

I am aware they are towards the bottom of the market, but new pricing suggests not at the complete bottom. Or are they simply overpriced junk?

Any information greatly appreciated.

have a look at the used market.. there are insane bargains to be had on good quality Aussie made trailers.

I probably should have explained myself better.

This IS a second hand trailer I am looking at.

2017 model.

$4000

$10,500 new, without extras.

Don't know anything about them personally, but that's either a very good , or a very scary! , markdown

Saw a 10 year old mars trailer for sale yesterday (yes, I know they are cheap)

$7,000 new, asking $4,500 10 years later!

Take this with a grain of salt, the business model for some places was to auction them off on eBay with no reserve, have a far higher price on your website and then people feel they got a bargain when they only paid 40-50% of the RRP. In reality, they still might have got reasonable value for their $$$ but the RRP was never realistic. Ask to see what they paid for it, I almost guarantee it's not RRP.

The only place you pay RRP is at the supermarket!
