Friends of ours (Germans) have been looking for a horse for a while in the States. They don't speak much English, so my wife translates correspondence.
They find something on the internet, email my wife all questions they have, she translates and sends it back so they can email the owners.
This has been going on for almost 2 years and we have also been looking for ourselves and have contacted some of the same folks about a couple of the same horses. Anyway, we aren't looking for ourselves since we made a deal a few weeks ago. One person we contacted and weren't real crazy about the relationship between the pedigree, looks, and price of what they were offering emailed us an offer last week to buy 2 horses for about 1/3 what they originally offered us one for a month ago. We turned them down. 3 days ago, wife gets another mail to translate. She does, and yesterday gets an excited phone call from our friend about a deal they were getting on a horse. They sent pictures and the ad from the seller and an email to translate to seal the deal.
Same person that contacted us last week and offered 2 horses for 1100 bucks, offered and will get 2500 bucks + $200 for vaccines and Coggins test for one of the 2 horses that was in the package they offered us a week ago.
No real harm done, both parties are happy and our friends really think they are pulling something off. Kinda reminds me of Jerry Clower telling the story about a preacher selling horse blankets.
Only beef I have is that buying having to depend on pictures and someone's word, I wouldn't deal with a seller like that. Come to think of it, I wouldn't deal with a buyer like that either :roll:
