The first thing I note is the mismatch of eras - flat fender Jeep with much more modern trailer. The seller is free to ask whatever price they like. It is incumbent on the buyer to make a counter offer. As my father used to say, a fair price hurts both parties equally.

What we are seeing is a secondary effect of 4x4 expedition touring buying up surplus M-series trailers as foundations for rugged camping support trailers. The Canadian ones were just the last good condition batch of small trailers suitable for cutting off 80% of the original fittings and accessories, and fabricating up with kitchen sliders, battery charger panels, small fridges, even tented sleeping platforms. The results look fantastic, but add another ton/tonne to the weight being moved along the trails.
