It sounds to me, that something may have happened to the buyer. If it were me, I would send him another message and give him a absolute deadline to collect and if he didn't, I would resell it. Make it very clear, that it must be collected.

You have sold the item you should refund the money now, not if they turn up. It's been 6 months. You do realise it is theft to keep it. Just refund the payment through paypal.

3 months is past the point they can make a paypal claim, so I'd be inclined to advise them you are onselling the trailer, resell it, then deduct all sales and paypal fees from both sales, deduct a fair and reasonable cost for storage over 3 months (a lot of places charge $10 a week for similar things long term) and then offer to refund the balance once the new transaction is all finalised. I had a similar thing with a car part - its been so long I can't even access the info via ebay any more or reply to the messages originally sent. I just got sick of it eventually, resold the item and if the buyer ever shows up again (its now been 6 months) I'll refund them less costs.

Can't you just take a Sunday afternoon drive over to where they live, and unhitch it?
