I really need to sell Jack's saddle asap, I have plans for the money now.
I need £400 for it. It's in as-new condition and was supposedly bought for £800 by his last owner but if that's the case she was ripped off because Ive researched and they tend to retail at about £700. Barely used and totally unscathed. Only ridden in lightly for a month or two.
Is it worth listing on ebay with a reserve like that or will it not sell?
Ive spoken to local tack shops (edinburgh) and they all either sell on your behalf and take 20% (eek), or arent currently buying. Spoke to my local saddle purchaser (sheffield) and he said it was a bargain for someone, but he doesnt spend over £200 or so on his second hand saddles at the moment.
Ive listed it on Adtrader (check the Edinburgh edition this week), and Stabletalk. I would pay to list it somewhere if there was a good chance of it resulting in a sale, hence needing reccomendations!
Im also selling my leather boots, need to know the best place to advertise them too. They have been worn I think.... 4 times. Cost £140 new, Im advertising them for £110 - they are in new condition except some easily cleaned out scuffs.
If I make the money I need I can tell you what it's for too (it's horsey, obviously! ).
ETA - oh and Ive listed it as 'Wide'. I think it's 8inches d-ring to d-ring, is that wide would you say? It's certainly the widest saddle Ive come across in a while .
