Default 800 radios, a trailor, and need thinkers...

First let me say what a joy it is to lurk on this forum. It is vastly different than so many boards dealing with business and marketing. There is thinking that happens here on a regular basis.

And if you do not subscribe to the monthly business ideas lettet, well, it is a good use of a few dollars.

Now to the my issue...

I have an commercial enclosed trailor that contains 800 UHF radios. On ebay they are going for an average of 75 bucks (a 5 month average).

The trailor has been in a friend's possession for 7 years. The company that let him use it to move the radios (they gave them to him) has been bought out and then the company that bought them was aquired.

The radios are his. He has had them for 7 years and just told me he could care less what happened to them, but wanted them moved. Done deal I told him.

Now, I did a trace on the VIN number and nothing is coming up. I know where the trailor was registered (Oklahoma) and am having trouble getting the answers I need from the government.

Here are the options as I see them.

1) Move the radios into another trailor. Sell them piece by piece.

2)Make a few contacts and move the whole lot including the trailor.

3)Sell a half lot and one by one the rest of them.

It seems to me that ownership of the trailor is still important.

So, my first step (after doing some searching) was to come here and ask you all. Anyone know the law on trailor ownership (it is a commercial "18 wheeler type of rig)?

Anyone have a contact to do a deal quick for a finders fee?

Any other thoughts?

Right now I am hitting ebay and google for UHF info and details. I have found several possibilities. However, in my mind, I like it as simple as I can get it. If you have a way that can happen let me know.

Feel free to email me, however, I think it would be good for the board to see the thinking here as well.

Again, great site, great resources and oh yeah...get the Sow letter.
