Doesn't it take ages for eBay to close their case and refund? This all seems to have happened rather quickly.
What exactly have I done wrong bar be nasty in first few posts & apologised for that but I didn't send the saddle looking like that. The thorowgood saddle has a slight curve at the back & my horse has a roach back and the other saddle just touched it. Being 5ft10, not sure how I'd squeeze myself into a 17" hence saddler suggested the t4/t8. I didn't get the saddler out to value it but to check the air & even though it fitted him it must have touched part of his roach back as when I got in the saddle, it was clear he wasn't happy but it fit him a few months ago but he has built so much topline up, he needs his saddles checked every few months. Will post some upto date photos of him as he is looking good xz
I have a receipt that I paid £700 not long ago - why on earth would I spend so much money on a faded old saddle? If it was that bad, why did the saddler value it at £600? It is kept indoors as no where secure to really put & was cleaned once a week for dressage competitions plus I love my tack looking immaculate once I get the saddle get, I can compare photos (which are on ohs camera & my laptop doesn't have a card reader). Hence taking a few on my phone. I loved that saddle as the thorowgood high withered saddles hurt me between my legs (you know where I mean) & this saddle was amazing to ride in. Put me in the perfect position & my bum didn't move even when he spooked.
I stupidly relisted it on my account hoping it would be returned in its original condition as my ohs account has sold up to its limit. I have removed it & will take it my saddler for her opinion before taking legal action/fighting through eBay.
Pattern of making rash decisions involving valuable purchases m'lud. Perhaps the person who sold it to you also covered up the fading. It's worth what someone wants to pay for it, so you created the £700 market value, effective as a one time only deal to youI have a receipt that I paid £700 not long ago - why on earth would I spend so much money on a faded old saddle?
A valuation for insurance purposes, which is the usual reason given for needing a valuation a receipt for that, is not the same as ebay second hand market value, it is the cost to replace like for like without having to search out the best deal.If it was that bad, why did the saddler value it at £600?
I don't even know why bothering to offer advice but for god's sake don't do that. You will lose more money. You cannot win. You can't even argue your way out of the paper bag of an internet forum; you've managed to contradict your own evidence and we had only your word to go on. And in the unlikely event this ever made it to court your statements on this forum are going to land you in some serious trouble.I have removed it & will take it my saddler for her opinion before taking legal action/fighting through eBay.

You are also going to start putting your saddler in an awkward position, so don't be surprised if she stops taking your calls if you continue.

Does any of this matter? Get some perspective. Everyone. Some poor guys have been beheaded this week. People are dying and starving. People are sick and in pain. None of this matters.
There must be plenty of bored people around to want to dig into op's life. Other forum posts/YouTube account etc. sorry but I just think that's sad and bordering on stalking.
Aren't there justJeez talk about stalking me over a saddle post �� some of you need to get lives but I do feel honoured to have my very own stalkers - �� has made my day there are so many saddos about ��

Get a grip love, I think you're on the wrong forum.
Take a look at the threads on here and tell me 99% of it matters. It's a horse forum, it's not earth shattering world altering stuff on the whole...
99%!! 99%!!!! At least 99.9% surely?

No, that's your saddle.
This thread has gone well into the weird zone, so it's quite possible that an Albion saddle has metamorphosed into a Black Country saddle....Reasonable assumption, first time new poster links to a random advert.
(eta, don't know if it is the same saddle or not being readvertised, but it's a reasonable assumption Wagtail made)
