I am looking at selling my GFS thoroughtbred saddle, as it is now too narrow for my lad only had it for 3months from new but hes gone from skin and bones to normal looking now! :)
it cost me £995 3 months ago and only been riden in 3 times a week.
I want to buy a new saddle before I sell it. but need to know how much i'm going to get for it so i can budget for a new saddle.
As its not a very common saddle I have no idea how to price it as I can't find any used ones advertised.
Has anyone used the second hand saddle websites where they buy them off you? what kind of prices do they give?
I could take it to local saddlers but dont want it hanging around for ages.
Maybe ebay? sold on there before but not a fan of the HUGE commision charges.
advice much appreciated
 
Saddles Direct take a huge commission on saddles they buy (more than ebay!) so thats probably not an option.
Saddles do seem to be selling well on Horsequest though, I advertised in a lot of places yet all but one enquiry came off there, and its only £10 for 5 weeks (i think!)
With regards to price I wouldn't really know, I do know that GFS's don't seem to hold their value, I sold one last year (jumping saddle) that was less than 2 years old and in v good condition, for £300 and was told I was lucky to get that for it.
Hope you manage to get a decent price for yours though, and good luck selling it :)
 
I recently was looking everywhere for a narrow saddle for my little x racer and i purchased a very narrow gfs from one of the guys on here ! It had had very little use but was probably a yr or two old i paid 300 quid. You would get more for yours as its so new. I just sold a saddle on Preloved. No commission at all and free to advertise! try that
 
i have a gfs tb fit saddle pro extra that i advertised on ebay last week, paid £1000 for it new and its under 3 years old and advertised it for £650. had 11 people look at it and one watcher but no bidders, no saddles are selling on ebay. so im stuck with it at the mo which is annoying as i cant buy a new one untill i get rid of this one!
