[VAL] Ebay Airstream --- things to "see" in the pictures

This Airstream "seems to be" in need of new axles at about $800.00 each. The
angle of the picture taken from the side might be deceiving but it appears to
me that the wheel well cutouts are riding mighty low over the outline of the
tires themselves.
I've read that a good gauge of whether a trailer needs new axles can be done
when simply viewing a picture is to "see" how low the trailer the wheel well
is over the tire wheels, not the tire but the wheels themselves. This trailer
seems to be a good candidate for new axles, something that would need to be
figured into any well thought out bid.
