So the Barngoddess1 is mad at me this evening. I haven't figured out why yet.
Maybe has something to do with the ads I have on Craig's List and my response to emails sent in reply to the ads.
So I let everyone out there in never-never land decide.......
was I wrong, or just having fun, or whatever.
Here is the ad from Craig's List.

A 5/8 scale WORKING stagecoach, set up for miniature horses or mules in the range of 35 to 37 inches tall.
Can be pulled with a team of two, or add two more for a four up hitch.
Has the works:
Hydraulic brakes on rear wheels
Two team poles, with eveners
Window flaps that roll down
Back boot with cover
Has taken first every time it was in a parade or show.
This ad is for the stagecoach only, the team and harness have been sold.
Email to take a look at it.
Due to scammers, I am hesitant to spend time on the phone or the computer describing it or sending a "whole bunch of photos". Come take a look.
Scammers, if you want to sell for me, give me $5000 and you can sell it for me. All others interested, price is $3,500.00
Located just west of Marionville MO. If you don't know where Marionville is, go to Mapquest.com and search for it.
Location: Marionville, MO

So the email I get today has just this in the text
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where is it"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So being the good kind person I am, and being of the Gentleman Farmers blood, I answered with this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's in the garage.
Too nice to leave in the hay barn or stable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So why am I in the dog house, I answered his question and gave him more info than he asked for.
NOW IT GETS BETTER.
I have the round pen on Craigs List also, just got an email with the same question from a different person
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where is it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my reply is:
It's in the middle field between the hay barn and the stable.
If someone sends me an email asking if it is still for sale, I think I will reply "yes" and leave it at that.
good by and have a good laugh on people out there.
