The discussion here has been very helpful to me. Now the auction company is showing bids and the high bid is already more than I believe the trailer to be worth. The trailer has no ramps, and they would add to the price. I would need the ramps for my skid steer. A private sale would not incur the sales tax but this auction company will charge the tax. I will continue to follow the auction but will keep looking. Thanks to everyone.
You would only avoid paying sales tax if you never registered the trailer in your name. If you take the title to the court house you’ll have to pay sales tax unless you live in one of the few states without sales tax.
