I have just bought a trailer on Ebay. It came with a bill of sale.
When I went to the DMV they told me I needed a title or they could not
help.

Any ideas on how to beat the system?


Register it as a home made trailer.


Still has to have a VIN. And, at least in CT, they are real pricks
about homebuilds - in particular for trailers.

I speak from experience. :)


So do I. I only had a bill of sale also. The VIN on my trailer was not
legible. The clerk suggested it be registered as 'home made' and I got the
tags and registration. ;-)
