Saddle fitting charges

[henryhorn]

Also in comp forum, but would anyone mind telling what they were charged for refitting a saddle if you bought it and asked the manufacturer's rep to fit it to a new horse?
Their arguement for charging us double the previous price is because we didn't buy direct from them (previously bought 3 of their saddles and they retail at between £1500 and £2000.
My point is they have already made a substantial profit once so should charge their normal price!
Any thoughts appreciated.

I've never bought direct from the manufacturer or had them fit my saddle.

However, my 2nd hand Albion was fitted by my sadder, and totally re-flocked at the yard and it cost me £90.
