I have problem, I am selling my horse to some one and they are coming to see my horse tomorow but...?

Question

They were coming to see my horse tomorrow. A while ago I got an offer for 3,800$ When I had listed the price to 3000$. Any way, I raised the price to 4000 thinking someone would pay that for him. Any way the person who was coming saw that the price has increased and has canceled our appointment. I emailed her back explaining, but what should I do now? do I just wait?

Answer 1

I believe you are the same person who was wondering that you had a 'weird' buyer?  Who didn't want to look at the horse...just purchase it for over the listed price?  Many experienced people told you this appeared to be a scam email?  I gotta go back and look....

I would just wait and see if the ones who cancelled the appointment will accept your explanation and call back.  Are you willing to drop the price more for these people to make the sale?  

Like mentioned before...once you set a price and have an interested buyer....stick to that price.  All you can do is explain that the price increase does not apply to them if you want to sell to them.  

If they don't respond...Just take this as a lesson learned in the selling of horses.  And set your price for the next round of ads...and stick to it.  

You can always add the words 'or best offer'...people love to negotiate and get a 'deal' when they have 'talked' you down a couple hundred dollars.  If you want $3000...then advertise for $3200...then negotiate.  But if you have a buyer coming to look...honor the price that is bringing them.

**EDIT...I went back and checked...I still believe that the 'buyer' you were talking about in the other question...is a scammer out to steal your money and possibly your horse.  Anyone who offers more than the listed price...I don't trust.  Unless I have two buyers standing in front of me...and bidding against each other...because they both really want the horse.

When I'm selling...the first one with the amount of money I will accept...is the winner...

And the 'money' has to be good.  Cash is preferred...and I tell them that ahead of time.  If they can write a check...then they should have the cash to cover it...so bring me cash.  Everything else...even cashier's checks...can be forged in this day and time.  I personally...don't trust them

Answer 2

I agree.  If you want to up the price find the person with the $3800 and take it.  If not forget about it and keep your price where it was.

As for this buyer...You never up the price on someone after you have stated what you are willing to take.  Call them back and explain that that price does not apply to them since you had already had an agreement.  They still might not come because they will be fairly certain they can not bargain you down from the $3000.

Answer 4

hey,

first of all i think you should figure out how much you think your horse is worth and mark his price accordingly. if a buyer really wants your horse, they would be willing to pay what he is worth. however, if you like the optential buyers, ask them how much they would pay and if it is too low, don't sell, if you are happy with their price, its a done deal.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

If the  person offered you a higher price than what you were originally asking why did you up the price.  I guess you lost the deal----NEXT time you will know better.    Think before you LEAP

Answer 6

If she saw the first ad then you could offer to sell the horse at the lower price - you know the old saying a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush.  Meaning that if you have a buyer you might want to sell now rather than wait and see if someone else will pay more.  Where is the buyer with the $3800?  If they aren't stepping forward then they might not have been all that serious to begin with.

I had the same thing happen to me.  A friend told me one price and then when I brought them a buyer the price had gone up $1000!!  I was embarassed and not pleased.  I've never offered to help them sell their horse again.  That was over a year ago and they still have the horse.  They have had to continue to feed and vet the horse for another year...Should they have sold it at the lower price?  I think so.

Answer 7

Don't be greedy.

This is a tough market to sell a horse right now.

I'd call back, let the person know the horse is posted at $3000 obo, and if you can get the horse a good home, great.

Be prepared to take less.

Competition to sell even awesome horses is hard now due to increases in costs all around.  

What i would like to know is, why didn't you sell the horse to the person who offered the $3800??
