Whats the best way to sell a saddle?

[Kitchingman]

Any suggestions?

My saddle is worth more than £500 so I can't advertise on h&h free tack ads and I don't fancy selling my saddle through a tack shop because they just get damaged being plonked on top of each other!

eBay?

Yeah I thought about ebay, but then would someone buy an expensive saddle on ebay and risk it not fitting? I wouldn't.

I've sold a few saddles on ebay... people will pay £500 plus if its a good saddle and hard to get hold of... it's a lottery though so put a reserve on it and then be prepared to relist until you get the price you want.

I sold my Jaguar Dressage on Ebay- had loads of interest and eventually sold for just over £800

I've bought a couple of saddles at over £500 on ebay......if it's what someone wants then they'll pay the money. Give it a go but put a reserve on it......don't start it off at too higher price as a lower start price encourages more interest

ebay with a reserve

Thank you guys, you've convinced me! I'll give it a go!

Defo ebay. I've never had much interest from the local papers and tack shops usually don't sell them for months and they can often end up damaged. Have sold a lot on ebay but have had to start them at a realisitic price or they don't get the first bid.
