Just wondering what fab bargains people have got on E-Bay this year?

My best one was a leather Barefoot headcollar/bridle combined, plus reins, for £50. If buying new they're much much more than that.

The one I missed was two pairs of Caldene Belgrade sticky-bum breeches; which went for £45. I was just too late getting in there (if you're on here and bought them, then congrats!! :))

Anyone else got any great horsey bargains?
 
Petrie boots for £40 they are the £450 RRP ones and look like they have been worn once!

and they fit beautifully!
 
Rugs for my filly, seeing as shes only going to grow out of them its not worth buying her new ones! Got a stable rug in great nick for a tenner and 2 turnout rugs nearly new for 25 each, and shes only worn one so far as its not been as cold as I anticipated!
 
I didn't buy anything horsey, but sold a used leather girth (in good nick) for £25. I has bought said girth, new, years ago for £30. I thought that was pretty good - for me!
 
Mark Todd leather tendon and fetlock boots for £5, Albion ultima leather girth for £22, Eurostar saddle pad for £12 - I love ebay :)
 
A pair of Ariat full seat breeches RRP £100 for £20
A set of 4 Premier Equine air cooled eventing boots- hardly used £28
Stubben browband £5

I love eBay!
 
Ahh 2011, the year I discovered eBay!
I've had tredstone leather tendon boots for £13.50, konigs for £40, Charles Owen h2000 for about £35, brand new Joules woolly hat for £7 and many more bargains.
All including postage too!

Pair of fetlock boots for every day £1.20

Hopefully it fits then it will be a bargin but albion dressage saddle on its way to :D

I've had far too many to mention! But recently a brand new amigo leather head collar for £26... RRP is £40 ish.

My best was a Samsung laptop, used but very good condition for £125... RRP £500 +

I'm an eBay addict!
 
I got a brand new turnout rug (usually 89.99) for £20.00 I also won a collectors dollshouse with some bits and bobs including lighting set/lights,2 pots of textured paint,some paint brushes etc all for £40.00 plus postage.
 
Grand Jeep Cherokee, 2001 all leather auto for £2500, a grand less than all the others for sale.

Also sold my horrible Daihatsu 4track for £600 after buying it a couple of months before for £475.
 
As new Sabre bridle £35

Bally laptop bag, has been used but paid a couple of quid for it. List price of, sit down and wait for it, £1200. The lining needs cleaning but the outside is beautiful.
Bally "nude" shoulder bag with matching purse BNWT £15.

I have just received an oil painting today, signed and on checking the signature it's not a well-known artist, but it's not an unknown artist either. I paid £15 inc delivery and I find that it would sell at auction now I've identified the signature for up to a couple of hundred.

Don't feel too bad about missing them. They were selling through Equestrian Clearance for £15 (but in somewhat odd colours) and I find they stretch badly and the stickiness of the bum ends up hard and brittle. I was very miffed with the pair I bought.
 
My saddle. I love love love it.

Frank Baines jump saddle for £260. It's beautiful and although not new is still in lovely condition :)

What else this year (I'm a bit of an ebay fiend :eek: )

Mountain horse breeches, brand new, £9 including postage? They were pretty good
 
Forgot to add my trailer :D had a 10 year service history fully refurbed 4 years ago stored on hard standing and with full breast bar and partition and single breast bars £900- far less than any thing else I could find in that condition they were all sheds for more money.
 
Mollie's cross-under bitless bridle. It cost nothing.

I ordered it in July, from a company which said it traded from Bristol, but later I realised was based in India. My paypal payment was taken, and I waited for the bridle...

and waited.....

Then I contacted them, said it's taking a very long time and they said, so sorry, It's been lost in the post. Dispatched another...

So I waited......

Contacted them again, same explanation, offered money back. That's not the point, I said, I actually wanted a bridle. They dispatched another....

It arrived!!! I then gave ebay feedback saying bridle fine, but took 6 weeks to get here. Not happy. They emailed, full of apologies and asked me to re-write my feedback in return for my money back, ie free bridle.

So I re-wrote my feedback and said bridle fine, delivery slow but apologized for and explanation given. They immediately refunded my money to my paypal account. Result. :D:D
 
not horsey but the most beautiful leather suite - sat on for 6 months only and trust me its beautiful for £400 - and given me and fella had no furniture it is a blast - wooo hooo 1 sleep and we get keys and i cant wait - im scared given my past but this guy is kind loving and very caring so double bargain :) bring on 2012 is what i say :)

Mine was a course of five brand new show jumps that were made for me and painted in my chosen colours for £455
I got 15 pairs of cups, 5 pairs of wings, 5 planks and ten poles! They are amazing solid jumps my horse hasn't touched a pole once in the three times I've used them and I've done about 3"6 in height and about 70cm in width, he enjoys jumping again now because I only used to have two 3"0 pony jumps so I was really limited to what I could do!
