That's some awning! Wonder what the wart is over the back window? Or is it a fingerprint on my monitor?

Anne,

Could be a number of reasons. Might have been pulled by eBay for putting wrong info in the ad, or someone won it and then won't pay for it.

The 13 that closed today for instance went for a good bit over what one would normally expect to pay for a 13 Burro which can happen in heat of the moment auctions. Then when they come down to earth later they realized they overpaid for it.

Do you know how to use the auto bidder so you don't get beat in the closing seconds? Of course, you have to know your limits and the value of the trailer before I would advise using the auto bidder.

There is also a 13 Burro that came up on eBay today in TX that is really sweet, although I know you are not wanting to go that far.

The one in Texas is just 30 miles from me. I have not looked at it, but it is on a used auto lot of some type. The buy now for 5,500.00 is a little steep. I sold one in as good as condition as this a few months ago, for half of that. If anyone needs assistance taking a look or needing someone to give it a good once over, that is interested, let me know. I could take a look at it for you. I am sure, since it is on a used auto lot, an offer on the spot would be much less than what they are wanting through ebay.

13 Burro

I've seen the pictures of that trailer in MN before, even the glimpse of the pole barn through the door. But where did I see it...
I sent an e-mail. I'll see what I hear.

I am watching those trailer on ebay, the one is TX is perfect, but too far. At least I will find out what people are willing to pay. Or think they are willing to pay!

The one in Elk River is mine.
it is listed here in the for sale section last fall.
the fridge needs a tuneup, and I have done some glass repair on the outside. It need to be repainted.
Also the custom mattress is now in our Casita.

I lowerd the price to sell quick because I need the money for the new motor in my Surburban.
If I don't sell the Burro by May I will be restoring it and of course selling it for much more money.
It has been at the last four get to gethers at Lanesburro MN.

Sorry, Jim. I should have recognized the woodwork (I honestly did not know where you lived, so the location was no hint to me.).

Jim Hovind offered to bring his pretty little Burro down to Indy for me this weekend!! WOO HOO! I appreciate his offer (and his concern for me to go for such a long trip on my first time towing).

I can't thank all of you enough for your support and your referrals. This is a great community and I hope to participate for a long time to come.

Let the modding begin!!

Now I just love when you have a Seller with a nice trailer that needs to sell and a nice buyer that needs to buy and you get together and

I've found that these eggs just kinda seek out their owners when the timing is right.....

Donna D. · 04-02-2009, 06:03 AM

Burros are nice trailers. I think you're really going to like it!

Jim Hovind · 04-02-2009, 06:29 AM

We're going to miss the Burro, iif Anne has half the fun and adventures Jonell and I had it should be great.
If we could have figured out how to get a bathroom in there we would have keep it. Some how I don't think the Casita will ever have the personality the Burro has.
Somehow saying dragging my Ass ( Burro ) across the country is way more funny than dragging my Casita around could ever be.

Sorry to see you lose the Burro, Jim, but it sounds like it's going to a very good home. Good luck, Anne! The little Burros are great fun.

Jim Hovind · 04-03-2009, 08:55 AM

Well I'm south bound and down, one last trip dragging my ass ( burro ) down the highway.
looking at the weather forcast I might have an adventure getting back.
