Private Sales Description
The Private Sales Board is meant to replace the dirt-cheap sale of horses and instead promote realistic sales of all horses. I have noticed, however, that horses in this private sales board are not being sold as quickly as horses in the auction. I'm not sure why this is, but I'm trying to fix it.
For those of you who dont understand how this all works, here's the basics. Simply put, any human member has the right to look at any thread in the Private Sales board and assess the quality of any horse that has For Sale or Sale Pending as their topic description; descriptions that read SOLD are seld-explanitory. If the human likes said horse, all they have to do is simply PM the horse character. DO NOT REPLY TO THE THREAD SAYING YOU BID. YOU ARE NOT AT AN AUCTION. If you do, I'll delete it. At this point, the horse character sets the topic description to Sale Pending. In turn, this horse character temporarily takes the role of a human, debating whether or not they should sell their horse to this human. You are free to negotiate prices, ask questions, whatever, just like in a real life sale. You two can even RP a "test ride" if you really want to. If the sale goes through, a stall will be made, the topic description is changed to SOLD and the price will be deducted from the human's account. If there is no sale made, the topic description is returned to For Sale and it starts all over.
I hope this made sense, and I hope this promotes the sales of these horses!!!

Selling Your Horses
When you sell your horse, you need to follow the following format. Feel free to copy and paste.
Topic Title: For Sale. Depending on the status of your horse, the admin will update it to Sale Pending or SOLD. Breed/gender should also follow the sale status. (Ex - FOR SALE - Thoroughbred Stallion)
RP post describing, say, a human posting FOR SALE signs around town. NOT AN AUCTION RING POST!!! No no no!!! Your horse is not in an auction ring situation!! If you post like this, I'll make you re-do it.
The following form will go at the bottom of your post...
Registered Name:
Call Name:
Breed:
Age:
Gender:
Color/Markings:
Discipline:
Information:
Asking Price:
After you make your post in the above order, the sale process goes as stated above in Private Sales Description. Once your horse is sold, the horse character must PM the admin telling him 1) the name of your horse 2) who bought the horse and 3) how much the horse was sold for.
Good luck selling your horses!!!
