How should I take this?

I am currently watching an item on Ebay, and it is a porcelain unicorn from the UK. If I decide to bid and win, I am concerned about shipping, so I sent the seller this email:

Hi Again!
I was also wondering how you planned on shipping this unicorn. I am concerned about it traveling overseas, since I am in the US, and also because it is porcelain. Thank you!

And this was her reply:

Thanks for e-mail.
Its a magical item it will fly.
Take care
Christine.

What should I think of this? 😯

What do you mean it will fly?? I am going to ask for her to be more realistic!

😆 😆 😆 Um….ok, they have a sense of humor at least! But seriously, I’d let them know the joke was funny and then just restate the question super-precisely. 😆

I would think she meant airmail…

but you might ask her not to smoke the wacky tobacky next time she answers…

That was my first thought too. Whether that means it’s got less chances of getting damaged, I don’t know!

well I know you can’t send anything surface from USPS to another country anymore…it all has to be priority…and that’s really expensive..and there are all kinds of new weight and size rules…

I sent one to Spain recently and they made me send it express cause it was like a pound over or something….and that cost more than a lap dragon…barf…

Yeah, I’d ask her to be more specific.

I agree!!!

I emailed her again right after I posted this, and I have yet to hear back from her. I was thinking airmail too, but she said that it was magical….so I don’t know.

If she’s serious about getting a sale out of you, she’ll respond. Otherwise, I’d let her go.

Well, if I wanted to sell something, I wouldn’t answer like that, that’s for sure. 😕

Oh well, I did’t win, but she had replied and said she was glad that I had a sense of humor, and then she said specifically how she would pack it…so she might have just been in a quirky mood! 😀

😆 Well, sorry you didn’t win, but I’m glad she wasn’t being ornery.
