Marked For Deletion: Buying & Selling Horses (old version)
About the public sales board, private chatroom sales, the public auction house, the Foundation Rescue, the Lined Rescue, buying/selling on the forum, pricing your horses, selling back to the game, about the HuntAndJump Auction Bidder, etc. Question: Are the "How to Buy" and "How to Sell" sections useful? Or just making it awkward when chatroom subsections are split between them rather than a single section on "Private Sales: Buying & Selling Using Chatrooms"? Same with how to buy/sell with forum ads? Maybe it would be better to not use sections, just subsections: The Public Sales Board: Buying & Placing Horses for Public Sale The Foundation Rescue Private Sales: How to Buy & Sell Using Chatrooms Buying & Selling on the Forum Selling Your Horse Back to the Game The Public Auction House The Lined Horse Rescue The HuntAndJump Auction Bidder Pricing Guide: How Much Are My Horses Worth?

Or could be titled: Help! I've sold/auctioned my horse by mistake!
Horses auctioned and not bid on by another player are picked up by the auction bidder for 2,500hbs or their lifetime payout if they’re over 10 years old. Horses sold back to the game using the option on the horse page’s control panel will go to the auction bidder. Horses are held by the auction bidder for 24 hours to allow time to rescue them back if selling them was a mistake or you have second thoughts. This can be done by going to the horse’s page and clicking on the “Records” tab. There will be a button to buy the horse back.
