Hints on selling

[Serenity087]

My mate is trying to sell a really nice, if fizzy, little mare and really wants her to go to a home where she'll be used properly and not wasted.

She bought her at auction so wants to make sure her next home is perfect!

However, we're running out of ideas to put off the idiots!! We've tried "NOT NOVICE RIDE" and we've stuck another £500 on the price but it's not working!

Either she gets phone calls asking her to define novice, or people who say they'll visit and never show up!
One asked what the minimum price was and when told, dropped it by £300 and kept insisting she'd pay that for the horse AND TACK (tack available seperatly!).

GAH... hints on putting these people off?

 

[JDChaser]

hmm, maybe add the word 'sensitive' or, simply, 'fizzy' to the ad? Or could that put the right people off too??

 

[Serenity087]

See, therein lies the fine balance!!

How to describe her without putting people off. I'd love to try jumping her but we can't on the hard ground!! She's obviously full of energy, probably hunted too, so she'll never be a novice pony!

I hate trying to sell horses

What about if you put POA? I think this would put off the window shoppers.

POA puts off everyone!

Could u write the advert on here, just like sum it up really then we could poss give more ideas?? Could put need confident, calm rider rather than not novice ride??
