on viewing a horse/pony when there is ONO after the price, how much would you try to knock off...

Pony no. 1...price £895 ono
Pony no. 2...price £365 ono
Pony no. 3...price £265 ono

ok i know this is hypothetical.....

Sooo...how low would you go???
 
pony 1 = £600

pony 2 = £200

pony 3 = i'll take it away for free!!!!!
 
Start with 20% off.

then 10% for oVno

Howver, if the mareklt is slow and people need to sell,,,,

I would knock the prices down to;

1. 800
2. 320
3. 250

I tend to knock off a certain percentage, but on the small one I wouldn't knock much off, if any at all.
 
pony 1- £800 so £95
pony 2 £320 so £45
pony 3. £225 so £40

but I have to admit that I have never paid full asking price for a horse/pony...

We viewed a horse valued at £3250 but got her the vendor down to £2600, think it was pretty good bartering on my part (my first time really) but the horse was 4 and the vet couldn't pass it but couldn't fail it either - said it's forelegs were too weak to do any real work for at least another year. He is 8 now and successfully competed BSJA & a bit of BE eventing no probs. He gave himself 3 mths off just after we got him as he got himself kicked!!!

Still I am still v proud of my bartering cos he's worth a heck of a lot more now!!

800
300
200


... enough to make a difference to your pocket, still within the same bracket (e.g. £800-900) for them to not refuse your generous offer

(but then what do I know I haven't bought a horse for years and ended up buying my own lad for full price then because I didn't want to lose him!

ide start with
1. 500
2.200
3.150
I always think in anything its best to start as low as poss as you can always go up. No good going in with a high bid because its impossible to lower it!
 
It totally depends on the condition and level the horse is up to, as to how much I will barter. I very often only barter a small amount as the horses are so cheap, in my opinion, that I know I will make a killing on them when I sell them anyway, so I always think, what's the point in bartering more than a few hundred. For example, that little coloured showjumper I just bought - I know full well that if I were to advertise her tomorrow I'd easily make 2 grand on her, and she's only been here for a couple of weeks.

Providing they were in decent condition and basically what I was looking for, these are the figures I'd be looking at knocking a seller down by if they were advertising for these prices.
£895 - £600
£365 - £250
£265 - £180
 
My horse was up for £2800 and i paid £2500, I wanted him that badly i would have paid the asking price.

I always think it depends on how much you want something. Its always worth offering though.
 
Depends what they were, but they are all very cheap really aren't they...so long as they all have four legs that is!

I don't think I'd knock much off at all, as they'd seem priced to sell as it is. Wouldn't want to offend a seller who clearly wasn't trying to make a mammoth profit (if any) anyway.

At the most.......


Pony no. 1...price £895 ono - I'd offer no less than £850.
Pony no. 2...price £365 ono - £350
Pony no. 3...price £265 ono - £250
