Albion Saddles Opinons please

[Madam_max]

OK, I have at the moment a K2 GP, K2 Dressage and a K2 Jump. I have has the jumping saddle a few months so have held onto my GP. However, I can hack in my jumping saddle fine, so no real need to keep the GP. How much do you think a K2 Dressage & a K2 GP is worth. I thought if I sold both of those, I could slightly upgrade my dressage saddle. Or should I hold onto the GP 'just in case'. Thoughts please

Not really an answer but if your K2 dressage is havana 17.5 and a medium width, I could 'rehome' it for you, PM me if you like

 

[Madam_max]

Sorry it's black MM.

 

[Eccles]

How old are they?

 

[Madam_max]

GP about 3 years, dresaage about 2 years. Both in good condition.

 

[Baileysno1]

Ah well never mind, to give you an idea my trainer is looking at a 2 year old K2 dressage saddle and hopes to pay £400-£450 (off ebay)

 

[carthorse]

They seem to get about £400 on ebay /£550 with flair

 

[ihatework]

Definitely sell the GP, I find them a complete waste of space!!
I think you would get at least £400 for the K2 GP, possibly a bit more, they are quite sought after saddles.
For the dressage around £450

 

[Madam_max]

Hello

how are you? Thanks, why don't you like the GP'S?

 

[ihatework]

LOL, not specifically the albion GP's, any GP. I think GP stands for generally purposeless (I coined that phrase from someone else, but liked it so it stuck!)
We are good, ponio is going to go out BSJA'ing soon I think.
Did you try the half pass exercise?

 

[Madam_max]

I haven't tried yet, I prob will tonight, I've been a bit lazy to school properly since

 

[Tempi]

i think you should sell both and get a 'posh' dressage saddle

 

[Eccles]

Agree GP around £400 on ebay and dressage maybe around £550 if you are lucky as it's fairly new.
I have always sold my saddles well on ebay.

 

[saskia295]

MADAM, what size is it? I have been recommended an Albion K2 and I see it is black. Sounds like I could find it a nice home

 

[Madam_max]

It's MM (warmblood medium) in between M and MW

 

[saskia295]

Ah bum

My boy's a medium all the way.

 

[RachelMcTimoney]

mines on ebay now username janine19771306

I have been trying to sell mine for a while now. They don't seem to go for much on ebay, and many dont reach the £400 reserve.

I have decided to take mine in part exchange against a really nice top of the range dressage saddle, as they will give me a better price than the second hand value. Perhaps you could do that with the dressage one and then sell the other one privately.
