Prices
There are a number of variables that go into pricing a horsebox, unlike a car when year and mileage might be seen as the most important variables, with a horsebox although these two variables are involved the box itself is probably the primary indicator of market value. The age of the box is most likely to be younger than the chassis and in the second hand market its general condition and amount of usage come into pricing. More important though is the build in terms of construction and design, horse safety and comfort being the primary concern. "Brand Names", as in everything these days, also play a part - a "good name" on an older chassis or with higher mileage will achieve the same price as a younger chassis or a lower mileage vehicle with an "unknown " build.
As you will have noticed I rarely price my boxes on their listings these days. There are a number of reasons for this but not least because I was finding other dealers and private vendors were using my prices as a guide! My objection to this is that I never see/buy a box that does not need some expenditure/time putting in on it before re sale, in fact many demand considerable expenditure but other sellers never take this into account and think their box must be worth considerably more than it really is, nor are they able to pick up on the differences in builds - this makes buying difficult for me!
