Second hand saddle sellers online

I’m looking for a particular saddle after a fitter visited this week.
He gave me a recommendation but the one he knew of is pretty old so I said I’d source one and he will come out again to adjust and flock.
I’ve found one, well a few but out of the better few one Is already out in trial. The other from a smaller seller is available and at an acceptable price.
Is it the done thing to mark an offer? I always make bit of an offer to a private seller but this guy is a smaller saddlery business?
Yes or no?!

Make an offer? Whats the worst he can say? No?

Well, if you don't ask you will never know! Go for it!

Actually thank god I popped along to the local saddlery and sat on a brand new one. Not keen! Very small seat size so I think I need 17.5 instead of 17
So glad I did that!

Annoying because all I could find was 17.5 now I can’t see any!

What kind are you looking for?

Well saddle fitter suggested a Bates wide GP with the plan to remove the cair and flock with wool.
He suggested a couple of things but as I’m quite a secret Wintec fan it was the Bates I was interested in.
Currently have a Albion k2 and Wintec jump both in 17.5 and both too big so we figured go 17.
There is a few 17.5” out there but with the cheaper finish (they come in 3 different leathers and I’d like the mid range) but I guess that’s ok.

I'm guessing you want the Bates, not the Wintec, but I have a 17.5" Wintec Wide for sale, if that's any good?

Are u sure you need a 17.5?
