slightly barmy offers when selling horses?

{'M am currently selling my very sweet/ correct/easygoing/ safe as houses horse.

He behaved beautifully for rather novice buyers and their instructor last night.

Todays text 'if he would take £400 I would buy him'.

I bet you bloody would!!!

Respond and say "have you missed a zero off the end?"

 

[be positive]

I'll give you £450 without even seeing him on that description alone

Why do these people, the instructor included, waste time if that is all they are going to spend, no idea what the asking price is but if I went with a client and the horse was right for them I would expect a decent price to be offered and paid, it would be a waste of my time to go and advise if they then take the p***

£2250 with a little negotiating room.

I nearly choked on my coffee!! He walk/trot/cantered around with the novice and went up the road and over a busy fly over on his own with the novice.

I'm not sure what they were expecting?
