Someone buying my bundle of rugs... how much shall I say?

[LankyDoodle]

Turnouts - I have a HW rambo with half neck, 2x LW horseware, 1x MW horseware woth half neck, a MW masta, a Zogel summer sheet, a Zogel LW and a HW weatherbeeta.

Stable - I have a HW Rhino with half neck, MW weatherbeeta, HW Robinsons, HW Weatherbeeta, LW Weatherbeeta, 3 coolers and a lycra turnout hood.

She said she only wanted the Horseware ones and they are obviously the ones I want most for, but now she wants them all and I wonder what to sell them for as a bundle? I was thinking £100 for them all?

Depends on their condition / how quickly you want rid but 5 rugs for £100 seems a bit cheap

Well all the horseware ones are in excellent condition, but now she wants the lot. All except 3 of the weatherbeetas are in great condition; the weatherbeetas are just old really. They've all been washed, reproofed and repaired where necessary as well.

Thanks by the way.

15 rugs and a hood for £100 - think they'll snap your hand off! Even if they're not in great condition still seems a bit cheap. For the more expensive Rambo rugs I would have thought they were valued at £50 each, depending on condition?

I'd want a quite bit more than that personally p[articularly if they are all in good condition, it would cost over £600 to buy all those new!!

You're only selling them for an average of £7 a rug!!!

I sold 3 horseware rugs- a heavy weight rambo and 2 light weight rhinos for £110 on ebay

ETA I'd say around £250 too!

 

[scotsmare]

Sorry - I read too fast - £100 for 15 rugs is way too cheap - especially as they're all good to go, I'd have thought at least £250.

Yes definitey agree, I would say alot more than that too. (though Ihave no idea what though!)

Wow, OK. Maybe I will ebay them!

She sounds quite young, so I think anything higher will put her off, but I don't want to price too low, especially with how much it cost to get them cleaned and reproofed, so I will tell her the price and then ebay if she doesn't want them.

Thanks everyone. Really helpful as usual.

Well I am just waiting to hear back from her now! The rugs are 6ft as well, so they are quite a popular size as well as being a good brand. I have looked on ebay and the HW Rambo is fetching around £50 with the other horsewares getting 30-40ish each. I've said £175 for the 5 horseware rugs, which means about £35 a rug, and I will see what she says; I will budge a bit to account for ebay selling costs, but if I can get more on there then I would be daft not to.

Thanks for your advice guys - I am getting £200 for all rugs except one of the horseware rugs. She is still getting a bit of a bargain, but I am quite chuffed!
