Hey Turf, my first trailer, I bought for $500. It was only a little 5x10 and I needed a side gate, so I did that myself. I stripped all the paint off the trailer and made the gates each a foot longer also. I also put new boards on it. After doing all this work all winter 2 years ago, I had the trailer sold for more in 3 months. I would say that if the trailer is still in good shape and works for you already, add the extra gate. I now have a 16x6 1/2 and it has breaks EZ gates, trimmer racks, a locking tool box, and all sorts of storage. If you add the gate and decide you want to sell it eventually, I'm sure there will be someone looking to start in the business.
