We’ve just sold our lovely pony to an amazing family who turned up when they said they would and didn’t quibble on the price. They even offered to friend us on FB so we could see how our pony was getting on.
However, there were so many other odd people who called, i’m sure I can’t be the only person who’s been astounded at the CFs out there.
One man asked if I thought the pony would be suitable for his children, we had a bit of an e-mail conversation ending in him asking if I could arrange a vetting for the pony, throw in the brand new saddle for a pittance and could I deliver the pony to X location some 150+ miles away. Oh and he wasn’t bothered about his children trying the pony out first! Needless to say I didn’t bother replying to his last message.
Others tried to barter me significantly down on price before they’d even booked to come and see the pony. Their rationale being they lived a long way away, would have to pay to come and visit and transporte the pony home plus buy a saddle! So...... look at a pony closer to home?? Another really liked the pony and could offer of an amazing home but it was out of their price range so would I take £x for it. No! We had an amazing pony priced very fairly, hence she went within 2 weeks to the first person that viewed it. Who also travelled a significant distance to come and try it out.
Anyone got any other stories?
