First I want to say - The advice above is good advice! Definitely use that as a guide when selling nothing under 2500 and use the horse search to determine price for Rank Specials and certain genes. You can see how much any horse was sold for (if its been sold) by going to the records tab on the horse's page.

Second- There are a couple people who do that on here unfortunately.. but like I said the comment above is good advice. It drives me nuts when I see people flip horses like that. Especially because its unfair to the next person who buys that horse because they got charged way more for a horse that just sold for way less. However if you sell a horse and someone buys it its out of your hands. You have no say since they purchased it. Most of the time this doesnt happen. But there are always a couple bad apples in the bunch.

I don't think it's a big deal. Sometimes I'll buy a horse for myself, then if I see that someone is searching for a specific horse I may end up selling it to them for maybe 1k more than what I bought it for. The horse is worth what they're willing to pay and you're helping them out by selling them a horse they need. When I've been in search of a specific type of horse I'm willing to pay more too. Sometimes I sell horses cheap, and they get bought and resold but it still benefits me bc if I'm selling them that cheap I probably am desperate for funds or stall space.

You wanted $x for the horse. The horse sold for the price you wanted out of it. So why are you complaining? If you wanted to keep the horse you would not have put it up for sale right?


On a side note, think about real life. Tons of people import and buy horses for 20k-100k and will turn around and sell them for 100k-500k. That's the horse world. That's business. That's how people make a living out of doing what they love.

I feel like most people on here wouldn't take advantage of new players. I have sold quite a few horses for them to be flipped within a day or two, but I feel like that's part of the game. I'm not aruguing against you by any means, if someone is doing it to take advantage of someone that is wrong but, also I have bought a horse before, has a it for a few days or a week and then someone will offer me more than what I paid for so maybe I'll sell it to them, I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
