Can I buy a Marcher Ware horse right away?
Well, probably not. Not from the factory, anyway. We only sell to our customer list, and they buy up all the horses immediately. Sometimes you can try to buy a custom one (if you don’t know what that means, see below) if you see the email announcement, but you’ll be (electronically) standing in line in the hot sun for hours, hoping to spin the wheel (again, electronically, this is a metaphor after all) and have your number come up. Or you can bid in an auction, if you like. But the factory doesn’t have them just sitting around waiting to be sold. No, sorry. Your mental image of a big warehouse full of pristine white boxes, cataloged and numbered, waiting for shipment, is way off base. Substitute a picture of a messy, crowded dining room with Styrofoam peanuts strewn across the floor, and a tape dispenser that got set down on the carpet and attracted dog hair from a three foot area. I’m sorry if my reality is not in synch with your fantasy, but it’s your fantasy that needs reconsidering
