Maybe it's the fact that I am Canadian and have been to the town that they are made in. Or maybe it's the fact that $63k for a lil trailer is totally off the rails, but I'll stick with Bolers as the trailers I lust after. My buddy picked one from the '70s up at an insurance auction for $1500. The insurance company wrote it off because it got caught in a hail storm and a couple windows got broken...$1500 gets you a project, $5k gets you a nice one. So by my math you could have a fleet of Bolers for the price of one of those hipster trailers, keep one for yourself and rent the others out in the summer to pay it all off! I appreciate the workmanship in that Hutte, but $63k?? I have a friend that makes amazing handmade leather goods, they are just as much artwork as they are durable goods that will last the rest of my life (cough *shameless plug fiveleft leather goods * cough). Uses all the most eco friendly dyes on leather from England that is all the most eco friendly stuff you can get. I paid good money for several of his bags, so I get that good stuff costs money, but I say again - $63k?? I can see it working as a one or two off, but find it hard to believe that there are that many people out there with $63k in their pocket for a small trailer with nothing in it, that can be replaced with a $5k vintage Boler that weighs 900 pounds so it can be towed with anything, and has way more to offer. Am I missing something here? (Besides the $63k that is)
