What kind of saddle / size is it? And what did you put the opening bid at?

I just bought a saddle company one for £185 delivered - second hand saddle have little value at the moment.

You may find you only get bids in the last 15 minutes or so. This is quite normal on there.

Do you have any watchers, they could be, as the above poster says, waiting until the last few minutes or even secinds to bid.

There will probably be a rush of bids at the last minute. People want a bargain and one of of achieving this is leaving the bidding until the last minute.

Have you got any watchers? Thats always a good sign.

Have you got pictures up, I always found good pictures and detailed info, with a genuine reason for selling helped my saddles sell. Plus have you selled much on ebay before? If your rating is low then people might be hesitant to buy from you,
Hope your saddle sells

I have just looked and people have placed bids. There is 3 hours to go. You were all right!!

I sold one for £12.50 last week - well at least theres more space in my tackroom, and someone got a nice bargain!

I don't put a bid in until there is less than 2 mins left, no one can outbid me then

I bought 2 saddles on ebay a couple of weeks ago for £15 and £17, they were sythentic though.

I was just about to post a thread asking if its worth selling saddles on ebay as i have 2 saddles I no longer use. Any more tips or experiences for me? I haven't sold on ebay before, but my son has, should I get him to sell it for me? Also how much do they cost to send?

You get far more watchers and bids if you start your item at 99p. I started one at £150 and it didn't sell, re-started it at 99p and it sold for £330!!
