How much for albion kontact saddle?

[jenh166]

I need to sell my albion kontact lite saddle (the single flap one that William Fox-Pitt helped design) as it doesn't fit my new horse
I've had it 2 years (it was already 1yr old when I bought it but harldy used) and it's been used a few times a week, and been well looked after, always with saddle cover on, and cleaned regularly. It's MW, dark brown, 17.5" seat
No scratches or anything, just marks on the girth straps as expected. Recently re-flocked with lambswool.
My saddler said he'd give me £550 part ex but recommended I try to sell it privatley as I'd get more for it...do you think £750 sounds reasonable? I bought it 2nd hand for £850. These cost around £1600 new!!!

What has anyone else paid for a 2nd hand one?

Thanks guys x

I tried a second hand one in a fitting I had a couple of weeks ago, and my saddler was aking £950 for it. It was quite worn.

Hmmm, well that's promising! Thanks x

You could probably get more than £750 for it seeing as it is not worn or anything and its in brown which is generally a more desireable colour. People will pay good money for good saddles, i know i would.
