Personally, I recommend individuals to purchase from.  Most dealers have a 
far better idea of the value (top dollar value) of an item than I could 
possibly have.  Now keep in mind that I can fix most everything in a 
trailer, and pretty much know what to check on by now (bought and fixed 
enough trailers).  If one is not handy, and does not have the time or 
inclination to fix, safer sometimes to go to a dealer, but insist on written 
warrantees.  If it ain't on paper then it ain't.
