I wouldn't mind Having one of those. Those are 300 gallon I believe.
How long has it been sitting? I'm sure all the brakes would have to be gone through, wheel bearings packed, etc. I would consider that in the price. Did you already buy it?

They're 400 gallons. Handy trailers if you need to haul water. I wish I had a use for one.

Actually might be worth a little more as it looks like Strata Blue and the former Air Force trailers are harder to find, so a dollar a gallon might be a fair price. $400

I had one I tried to sell for awhile. I was asking $1,000 while ones in worse shape were selling at the local GL lot bringing $1,800-$2,000. 
Ended up having a need for it so I pulled it off the market and still have it.

Ok so we are working with a range of $329 to $2000. That is a wide net to cast, I hope it brings in a fish or two.

If it was in front of me I'd give 500 and figure on spending a few 100 to put a Honda pump and an assorted hose output assembly on the tongue.

I had been looking to buy one for my Boy Scout Camp for a few years and missed a few reasonable. Cheapest I recall was GSA in Kentucky forestry for $350. Most sell for a $750-$1000 formerly GL and now GP or just under but recently a few GSA in NV went for $1500.
It really depends on which tank, is the big lid ok?, old style frame, newer style? dual wheels & fenders? pump platform? Location
Reason prices are all over the place is also a construction company, farmer, or contractor will pay gladly easily $1500-2000 but that is typically out of hobby range for limited use.
Cheapest ones are usually ex forestry or fire fighting ones at GSA auction
