Hello,

Thanks for your mail,am highly impress when you told me about condition.

I would like you to know that currently i'm busy due to my business activities so i wouldnt be able to view the saddle or inspect before purchase but ibelieve that business is based on trust so since you told me Saddle is in good,no problem about the price since what am buying is ok by me. I would be handling the shipping my self.I stay in florida but rigth am in canada for business activities.

I have decided to make payments with a Check.

Let me get a response from you soon.

Regards

Ballack

Oh, it's definately a scam. I know how frustrating it is!! I still get them for saddles that I have sold and took the ads off.

[Trixiesue]

Thats a scam! I had one similar when I had a horse for sale on line. Just reply with sorry no checks CASH ONLY no exceptions, and guess what they will stop emailing you.

[cowgurl1811]

OK sabrina create me a funny email!! lol. Im gonna say something stupid back and play around!! HELP PWWWWEASE OH MIGHTY GREAT ONES!!!!

[Moostang]

Can you cut and paste the wording of the original ad on here? <evil grins>

[Drafty1]

I love how they alway use "advert" and when they ask what condition a horses is in. I alwayswrite them back that the horses condition is good for a horse missing on leg. Since they are scamers its funny!!

[3WishesDun]

Since you will most likely get more offers from scammers I wrote you an email too!


Dear Ballick,
Which saddle are you interested in- the Charmin Supersoft 2000 or the Henri Winkler? The Henri Winkler is the special "Fozni" model that comes custom fit with a stainless steel pommel and heavy duty shocks. The Charmin 2000 is "squeezably soft" and molds to fit the riders back head and neck, it also has aloe vera to reduce unsightly chaffing. Due to the high response from numerous buyers...I have been forced to raise the prices on both saddles to $1687.99 each and will be picking the lucky two recipients using a method I deem most fair. - Eenie Meanie Mine Moe...catch a scammer by the toe, if he's sending a check, tell him no, My mother said to pick the very best one and you are NOT IT! awwww I'm sorry-- YOU LOSE.

Here is a quickie I put together

Dear Ballack

I would like to thank you for agreeing to purchase my saddle system. I do however feel obligated to give you full information on what you are purchasing. This system is the 1919 model A carbine saddle, fully loaded. By full loaded, I am completely computerized. It comes with electic adjustments and even the seat warmer options for those cold Canadian winters if you choose to travel with your saddle. The saddle even has THREE cool-air breeze though holes that allows cool air to rise through the saddle and cool your tush during those hot summer days when you are never sure if that moisture is urine or sweat. I also got the optional tilt steering and cruise control option, which allow you to hook the reins to you saddle and just go. Honestly, this makes showing bridleless a breeze, and you are sure to take home that AQHA grand champion title on the smallest of arabians.

Now if you would like, I can also thow in the girthless attachment that allows you to ride completely balanced in the saddle without a girth. This seems to be the new fad in bareback showing, so I can add this feature in for another $300. I also have a aluminum form fitting saddle pad for sell for $120 if you are interested. This was made by ROTOM DROF company and is only the top quality.

Please let me know how you would like to pay. I take cash, money orders, visa, american express, HGS card, diners club and master card. Other arrangements can be made, but only if you choose to purchase everything at once.

$700 for the saddle (Cash only for this)

Or

Complete package (will take check)

$1200


Thanks, your trusting friend
