Sellin dog with trial price ??

I sold a dog with a different price with or without trial. This was 100% proven hog dog that was known in many circles, more dog than most care to turn out....

Here are my reasons.

The buyer was hundreds of miles away. One of us was going to have to spend a fair amount of money and time in the event the dog did not work out. I offered an ~10% reduction in price, so that I would not have to spend money and time meeting him in the event the dog was not what he expected.

At that point, he had the choice to accept my advertised price with trial (insurance), or take a gamble on my reduced price.

This deal in particular, I think you could ask the buyer, and he will say he would gladly do that transaction again.

Some times, it's simple economics, not someone wanting to cheat someone.
