Thoughts?

A good way to get money I suppose! Their feedback is interesting....and lots of it. Guess they can't be breaking too many ebay rules...

 

[Marydoll]

Can they do that if theyre not a registered charity ??
looks like it could be a con in my opinion

 

[sjmcc]

ohhh it does seem odd iv looked at there feed back on ebay and people seem to have given a bit of money

I wonder if people would bid to pay for my xmas dinner!! May have to give it a try! Con Artists I would say.

? well don't really know what to think of this , they could be well dodgy , i have sold loads of second hand horse stuff on ebay and made a small fortune ( very small but not insignificant ) so asking people to send old tack could soon be turned round to make a profit ....does anyone really know if they are kosha or just appealing to those of us with a concience ?

I'm afraid I am very cynical about this sort of thing now, and a lot of the comments on the feedback sound very smiliar. I do love the comment that praises the ebay listings as a great way to donate! As I said, I am very cynical and really hope this is the real deal. But I wouldn't be betting money on it.

Some years ago I donated to a similar appeal ( not by these) which was for a horse sanctuary/rescue. It was not one that I had heard of and have no idea what happened to the horses and if was genuine. I don't give money away so freely now unless it is genuine because in my book if I give to a dodgy deal then a real genuine sanctuary/rescue is losing out on the money that I could have given to them instead.

odd that they have a horse with a broken knee when they were collecting for a horse with a broken knee back in May too

I cant find a reg charity number on their website

I have no doubt that they are a nice bunch of people doing the best they can but I am afraid I wont be donating on the basis of that website

Mmmm, sounds about as fishy as a dead mackerel to me!

Without trying to be trite if they ARE a genuine set-up, here is my E-bay "wants" list:-

- nice posh indoor school just right for these dark nights!

- nice little 3.5 horsebox, Vauxhall Movano or summat similar

- supply of winter hay/feed etc

- new pair of black leather boots as am fed up with cheapo rubber ones

- finally a nice bottle of something strong & potent to go in the hip flask

Any offers?

 

[WelshD]

yes I can possibly help with some of that. Now if you could just send me your bank details and a £200 admin fee.....

The website is pretty bad, but I think they are legit as they featured in the local paper (the article about an abandoned cat did mention the shelter are really struggling financially).
