Is this a reasonable expectation? Looking in BR. Recommendations would be great!

Lowe's or Tractor Supply
I bought the cheapest 5x8 at Lowe's about 10 years ago & have had no problems w the trailer. Only complaint is you having to use a 1 7/8" ball to tow it.

Buying new or used?
Obligatory: 5x8 is a very small trailer. Going 5x10 is not that much more.
Reference: I bought new 5x10 in 2017 from Mike Geralds for $1700 OTD. Included several upgrades like spare tire.

I’ve had a few and the prices soared during and after Covid. They’ve come down a little. I’d recommend 15” tires and 2 inch receiver for the minimum and probably 5x10 as minimum size if you are ever going to be out on highway or interstate.

I'm sure you have something special in mind to carry on such a small trailer, but just know that getting the weight distribution is critical on such a small trailer or it's fishtail city.
Consider something slightly larger that maybe will serve your purpose just as well and be useful for something else occasionally.

Have you checked FB marketplace? A lot of people buy trailers and then realize they need the cash or just don't need the trailer.
I bought a 6x12 for like $700. I just looked and I see a bunch of 5x8 trailers for under $1000.

6.5 ft x 10 ft at Hills Equipment in Livingston is $2100. It also has 3500# axles. Much nicer and heavier than the tractor supply or Lowe’s trailers.
