second hand saddle.

If you bought a new saddle for £890 4 months ago and buyer wanted with sale of horse - what would you sell it on for? Saw post in H&H and was querying value of second hand saddles so very confused now

Also never sold a horse before

I saw that artical and they pretty much said it's like buying a new car once you have used it once it loses alot of value.I would say around the £600 mark.

I'd say if the saddle is being sold with the horse it was originally bought for, then it won't have lost much value - however, if you ask too much and she doesn't buy it with the horse, you are left with a 2nd hand saddle that is not worth very much, if that makes sense - so tell her what you paid 4 months ago and ask maybe £650/700.

£500

Once its secondhand its second hand Im afraid! But after that they dont decrease much for a long time.

Unless its something like a wow or devoucoux you need to half its value and add about £50 on top!

Even wows only sell for about £900 at the mo ie just over 50% of retail value.

However I think you could go for £600 as it fits the horse. Worth a try! But if you dont sell it with the horse it can be more difficult to sell for a decent price. Bear that in mind!

Wether it's 4 weeks or 4 months old I'm afraid it is still a second hand saddle. If you got £600 for it it would be marvelous....though I expect you may get around the £500 mark. Probably not what you wanted to hear but that's what I reckon....sorry

Thanks guys - really useful info - will ask for £600 and if I get £500 think I will be lucky!! Sell bridle and saddle for £600 maybe.
