Fal Goliath T/O - how much?

[Stasha22]

I am thinking about selling my Fal Goliath T/O rug as it doesn't fit my horse particularly well.

I bought it in January of this year and it was made to order in that the neck is fully attached and its navy instead of the standard check colour. My horse has worn it about 3 times.

Will probably put it on ebay but not sure what I should set the reserve at. How much do you think it's worth?

What size is it?

6ft6

No idea on the Goliath model but I am sure that it will go for over £100 at the end of the sale. What weight is it and is it the silver lined model or the normal one?

If you decide on what price you would actually like, if it is silver lined then I know someone who *might* be interested.

 

[Stasha22]

Yep, it is silver lined. Think the filling is 450g.

Still thinking about price!

I personally would put reserve of £85-100 on it
Shame its 6'6" as my friend is looking for 6'3" heavy!

You should get easily over £100. The cheapest I can find Fal rugs online is Redrae and the Goliath is well over £200 new:

450g is too heavy for me ... but if anyone has a 6'6" 40g or 200g Fal Bulldog......

 

[Stasha22]

Thanks, that's really helpful. Think I'll set the reserve at £100 then and see how it goes...

Me too! John is ace, a really great guy isn't he. You won't have any trouble selling the Goliath, FAL rugs are sooooo popular.
