I'm going to put my saddle on ebay but I'd like to have a rough idea of what to expect price wise and what to put as starting bid/reserve.

17 1/2" Thorowgood cob T6 3D (can change gullets and has fish) Comes with two sets of fish and m/w gullet. Black. Great condition, 10 months old. No marks, scrapes etc. Over £400 new.

Any ideas?

Try looking on ebay to see if there is anything similar selling so you can get an idea of what price you want. If you start your sale at 99p the listing fee's will be cheaper than if you start it at say £50 or put a reserve on, so its up to you how much you want to pay in listing fee's.
If it was £400 new and there is no damage I would expect to get £150 - £200 for it, more if you are lucky!
 
A quick search of completed listings on Ebay (ie auctions that have finished recently) shows the last 2 used T6 saddles sold for £180 and £175.
 
Thanks guys! I'm not very ebay savvy and when I had a look I could only find an old one for sale that wasn't adjustable. Don't think I could cope with starting the bidding at 99p incase I only got one bid lol!
I really love my saddle, its a shame it doesn't fit any more as synthetics jsut don't hold their value well
