Ive heard lately it doesnt save you too much money to buy used vs new. And building a trailer isnt super cost effective. The benefit is that you get to build it 100% to your preferences.

Building isn't cost effective unless you can get big price cuts on steel.

Used trailer prices are dumb. With that said, I'd sell my 24' gooseneck for $3500

Exactly what Sam said. You can't build one for what you can buy one for and used trailers are way over priced.
That being said, I can have one built for you for only the cost of materials.

Are LED lights worth an extra $200 on a trailer?

I loan my trailer out a lot, so my trailer gets banged more than Sam at a gay bar. To me being able to replace any light on it for like $3 negates the cost of LED's. That being said Frick has some Harbor Freight LED tail lights that are held together by shipping tape, while not all of the LED's work, most still do.

I personally think they are worth it. For safety its $200 well spent. When LED trailer lights are on they are bright! many times with older conventional trailer lights you have to ask yourself if they are even on. Aesthetically, LED's look much better as well.
It's also nice to have a bunch of amber lights down the side so you can see where your trailer is at night.
