Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | No prices on the ad for the horse.....I have to leave a message.....girl writes, "I pm'd everyone a price" (all 30 of us). I sign out of the mobile FB and pull up the one where you can actually see your "other" inbox......no message....I go back to find the ad again.....scroll down through 16 new posts.....find it.....comment, "I did not get the price." Now, I have to wait again.......6 minutes of my day wasted......le sigh..... |

I have to be honest. After I get the price that I worked so hard for, I sometimes want to just post it in the comments so the other poor suckers don't have to go through the whole process that I did. |

I dont get it either. I will NEVER email on private treaty ads. They do it to supposedly weed out tire kickers. But I can attest that I have been a very serious buyer at times and I will not email for a price. You are limiting your possible buyers by placing ads without a price. |

LOL!! You and me both, if I ever buy a 50 K horse ill flash that fat stack of cash all over jk jk
Also I enquired on a private treaty stud.... it was way great price and no mare care charged. You never know. Sometimes they just want to make sure thing are right before they get given a counted stack of cash. |

Think about all of the traffic you're getting. More people are going to look at your ad when there is 15 comments of nosey people wanting to know the price because half of them aren't serious anyway. Its like the theory of making overnight workers at a 24hr grocery store park in front of the store to make it appear busier. you'll attract buyers. yes it frustrates me too. but maybe this is some peoples line of logic, maybe not, but this is what I would think if I did it.... |

I'm the opposite. When I see a bunch of people asking the same question, I assume that the seller is not getting back with people.
As a buyer, it frustrates me when a price is not listed.... or a location, or bloodline, etc.
As a seller, I am going to list my price. I don't need 100 people emailing me asking me for a price when only 5 of them may be in that price point. |

Yeah, it's annoying seeing different prices on different sites. However, some horse's prices go up with training and hauling, so if someone has a horse priced at $2k and then a month later it's now $3k due to training, it's just easier to not list a price and have to remember to change it on all the websites. |

When I see the same question over n over, especially after I took the time to READ the information & READ the comments, and find that the seller has already answered the question(s) several times!!! I am amazed at how others "get along" in the world!!

When I see a horse advertised on multiple websites, yet the prices vary according to the class level of the site....
Apparently some places are like shopping at Macy's, where as others are like shopping at Kmart..... Yeah, it's annoying seeing different prices on different sites. However, some horse's prices go up with training and hauling, so if someone has a horse priced at $2k and then a month later it's now $3k due to training, it's just easier to not list a price and have to remember to change it on all the websites.
I get what you are saying, but when all the ads go up the same day it's another story. Haha |

Yeah, that's not cool! I usually google the horse's name to see if it pops up on other sites. I've saved myself some real headache doing some research more than once. |

I'm not gonna lie, I google results on some of these 1D horses just for laughs. The ones on FB can sometimes be pretty priceless. Lol |
