Best place to put on the market part english saddle?
Saddle fitter just came, and said there is no course my saddle is ever going to fit my horse. I decided to keep the horse, although it was a tough result :P
It's a County Stabilizer - my concern is being able to get a clad price in my rural area. I can't afford to stick it on commission for any amount of time, as I can't really afford to buy another saddle before selling this one.
Any concept for a quick(ish) but cost-effective way to sell a saddle?
I would out ads up at a barn. People normally look for stuff there. I have bought a really good Wintec saddle from someone at a barn I used to work at. Good Luck.
E-bay. The charge a listing fee and a final appeal fee, but both are reasonable. You'll be able to plug your saddle to everyone in the nation. You can also set a minimum value called a reserve.
I enjoy sold a couple of saddles on E-bay and it has worked very all right.
e-bay!
I had a Prestige saddle that I put on Tacktrader.com and I sold it contained by about a week or so. Ebay is another great way to go but whether you decide to do Ebay, make sure you individual except Paypal payments its the safest way to Ebay.
I sold my County Symmetry on E-bay. I ended up getting $1300.00 or $1400.00 for it. It was in mint condition. I saw saddle much more expensive on there that sold. It was the quickest way to market it that I could think of. If you ship it, make sure the tree is protected and it is chock-a-block really well. FedEx seems to do a better job at not have beat up boxes upon arrival. Good luck with it.
Ebay.
People will settle up anything for a quality saddle there.
Answers: One poster mentioned e-bay but didn't tell you that you can inventory your saddle on there with a hold price so that if you don't win your price you can either take it off ebay or relist it and hope somebody REALLY have to have it and missed out the last time you listed it.
Craig's List also works.
Remember to hold pictures of your saddle to post: Both sides, front and back and underneath.
