Poor pony, free with rug although rug dont fit

On a serious note, I cannot belieave my eyes

 

[B_2_B]

Poor pony!

 

[DragonSlayer]

The pony is £200 ono. The rug is free with it. They have the wording back to front I think...

 

[Katd66]

Thats an expensive rug if the pony comes free.

Poor pony

Well that's what I thought but
"Lightweight turnout rug,4ft6,comes complete with 12.1hh free grey filly,18 months old,to make 13.2/14hh,well handled,passported and chipped,"

doesn't sound like they got it wrong...

 

[flower08]

wish i lived nearer

 

[DragonSlayer]

I messaged them to ask, and it came up different saying £200 ono.

 

[flying solo]

Bloody he'll! Life can be cruel :-(

 

[flying solo]

Hell! Dilly phone!

 

[flying solo]

Silly! I'm an idiot

 

[joginthepark]

sorry i was in so much shock I have put wrong spelling in the heading and thread.

Be interesting what she say

 

[DragonSlayer]

I shall let you know! If indeed the mare is a freebie, I know where I'll be going this weekend...

 

[JessandCharlie]

I'm being unbelievably dense, but I don't get it

I think it's a tongue in cheek advert, advertising a pony for sale, with a naff picture of a grubby, but sweet looking pony. Fill me in somebody!

J&C

 

[joginthepark]

ok
i phoned and she said yes its free. So said ok if she free I will have her and you can sell the rug without her.
She said " Ok the ponie isnt free"

 

[LaurenM]

She can't think much of the poor filly

 

[Chestnuttymare]

horrible, it's like saying that the rug is of more value than the pony. poor wee soul!

Yes I agree, I think someone has tried to be clever and word a very tongue in cheek, jokey advert as a marketing ploy.

Its worked too as already it has been highlighted here

 

[tallyho!]

Nah, wrong colour for me.

 

[DragonSlayer]

Hahaha!

Rug is £200, pony is free!



It's 'one of them' adverts, oh yes!

 

[*hic*]

How odd, usually posts like this are slagging off the literary abilities of the advertiser but in this case the advertiser has a slightly odd issue of using commas instead of spaces rather than as well as spaces but is otherwise understandable and the OP appears illiterate.


It's just someone thinking they have put up an eyecatching ad. Which obviously they have succeeded in doing.

I hope whoever it was that commented on me calling some of the freeads people in our area numpties is reading this.

I rest my case, poor poor pony

 

[ABC]

What the ad means is "pony for sale, for £200 with free rug"

 

[Enfys]

and just look at all the extra advertising it is getting on here, and probably other forums as well. Not a bad bit of advertising as far as attention grabbing goes really.

I sold a Landrover Defender 110 that way ... complete with 3 bedroom detached house . As far as I know they re-sold the house but kept the Landy

 

[Fahrenheit]

I don't get what the problem is, other than you don't like the advertising ploy, the pony clearly isn't free with an asking price of £200.

The pony looks healthy, well looked after, all the other horses look healthy, they are happily eating large bale hay in one picture, this person is clearly looking after their horses, yes the pony is only £200 but that is a sign of the times... alright the rug doesn't fit that well, but I suspect it only wore the rug for the photo to be taken of the rug, as its not wearing it in any of the other pictures and doesn't have any rug rubs that you can see. The pony looks very happy to me and hopefully will find a nice home.

 

[McNally]

Think its supposed to be ironic or amusing! Like people above have said its certainly caught people's eye, Maybe more so that a Pony for sale £200 would have done.

Chill! ;-)

 

[1Lucie]

Omg err think that rug is a tad small...

 

[mightymammoth]
