You're forgetting that (per the auction) even if you purchase the
trailer, it is not driveable as is; it needs tires and other work. Not
so simple as to just hitch it up and go...

Even if someone handed me the necessary money, I'm not sure how I could
handle the logistics. The easiest method of acquisition would be to
acquire the semi trailer as well, hitch it up, and haul it off without
removing the computer. But I can't drive a semi, and I don't know anyone
who can or who has a semi. Plus, my time may be too limited to engage in
the affair.
