Saddle value? Not selling

[gillianfleming]

I got a gp with my pony when i got him, unfortuntely it has never fitted him that well so think i've only used it a couple of times.
Have been approached by the people who loaned him before as their new pony is a similar shape and have just heard it fits really well but i've no idea how much to ask for it.
Its a Lovette and Rickettes 17inch MW gp, slightly marked across the back of the seat but must be about 10 years old.
Any ideas, sorry i don't have any pictures, but money will go to the pony fund

Sorry i can't help you with a valuation. Why not take a look on ebay at saddles that are similar tou yours to get an idea?

Is there a saddler in your area that you could take it to for a valuation?

It was pretty sudden and have already given them the saddle to try, hoping to hear for definate whether it fits towards the end of next week after their instructor has seen it.

Ah. In that case, I'd do as Kateknights suggested and check out eBay to see what similar ones are up for.

If you go on ebay and search for the saddle, then go to 'advanced' search and select completed listings, it shows all the saddles of that type and whether they sold or not, and for how much. Then I would take an average of that amount.

Was going to say that, look at what they SELL for not start price! Also you could add a small amount for not having had to take the ebay risk as we have had a lot of horror stories on here lately about saddles bought on ebay. Say £25 maybe??
