Second hand breeches - would you buy them?

[Acolyte]

Now before I start, THIS IS NOT AN ADVERT THIS IS A REAL QUESTION, HONEST!

I have 3 pairs of breeches which are practically brand new but are too big for me now - is it worth putting a card up in our local saddlers to try & sell them? They are Toggi, Eurostar and Barbour ones so decent makes, 2 pairs were for competitions so hardly worn - I was thinking of asking about £25 a pair for them?

Wasn't sure whether breeches were the sort of thing that people wouldn't fancy wearing 2nd hand - its not like kids stuff where they keep on growing

Has to be said, personally no I wouldn't wear 2nd hand ones.

i have bought second hand ones, mainly because if i know i like a particular brands type then i will try and find them cheaper as long as they are still in really good condition it doesnt bother me!

 

[zigzag]

Yes they would sell! Saddler near us do a trade in second hand jods etc

 

[Morrigan_Lady]

What sizes are they?

 

[Acolyte]

Thats great thanks - enough possible 'yes' answers already to make me think it is worth putting a card up, it only costs a donation to charity

There are often 2nd hand ones on ebay, but they are usually cheaper than what you want for them!

Ofcourse!

I bought 4 pairs of second hand pikeur breeches that were all in excellent condition!

What size, colour, style (i.e.high waisted) are they?

 

[bex1984]

I'm not sure I would, but then I only buy cheap jods anyway.

Have you seen the (slightly kinky) dirty used jods that appear on Ebay from time to time? very odd...

Depends really on how you 'market' them... Someone once posted a link to some 2nd hand breeches on ebay . The lady wearing them was featured in several interesting poses wielding a whip...
I don't think they were in the Equestrian section

Breeches sold for more than they cost new if I recall correctly!!

Either that or contact the Ledbury PC - they run a second hand service thing

Have PM'd you

never considered second hand until bought some last week, ended up getting george schumacher breeches which are around £90 for 5.50 off ebay, and didn't even look as if they had been worn they were in that good a condition. Wouldn't buy really second hand though!

So if I get someone to model (complete with dressage whip, long boots and spurs) the new ones I cannot even get a bid on, and put them in a different section as worn I will get more money for them

I would have fun wording that ad

 

[PapaFrita]

Exactly

Go on... I dare ya!

 

[crabbymare]

I will if I can find a model - they are 3 sizes to small for me, or would that add to the price

 

[GinaB]

You have to word the ad properly to get good bids apparently. There are like 'buzzwords' that mean the likes of worn, but not washed things like that hence them selling for so much!

 

[PapaFrita]

LOL! Probably enhance the value

I think you should pose in high heels with a hunting whip...

I wonder if there's a 'dominatrix' category on ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
