Where to advertise horse tack for sale ?

[Mary3050]

Hi guys ,

Just wondering where everyone advertise/ look to buy horse stuff . I have lots of new and second hand tack (rugs, bridles, leathers, jodhpurs etc) . Which I have advertised on Facebook in many different group and on preloved . Not sold a thing which is odd as there are some real bargains . Where should I try next ?

Many Thanks

Second eBay, I have sold loads on there.

Just be mindful you may lose > 10% in seller fees, unless you take advantage of the '£1 max. seller fees' but, these aren't available to all sellers.

Thanks will give eBay a go. As I have listed some shoes on that haven’t sold via eBay but gym stuff has . Daft question if I sell them else where ie. Facebook and take the listing off do I get changed?

If you sell the items elsewhere, providing you end the eBay listing before it has attracted bids or been sold, you shouldn't run into any bother.

Not true I'm afraid. They charge you a final value fee if it has any bids on at all, no matter what the reason

Yep, that's what I said.

Providing you end the listing before it attracts any bids, you'll be OK.

Hi guys I am still having no lung the only things that have sold are two rugs . I put them on eBay but I got stupid offers ie £10 for breeches that are new with tags and cost £120 ! I had them on for £50 would have took £40 ! Is it just the wrong time to sell with Christmas etc ?

Have a look for equestrian car boot/ table top sales in your area .
We live in a really horsey area and find stuff goes well at ordinary local car boot sales .
Put a sales list up in local feed/ tack shops /livery yards.
Ask a local ( busy ! ) rc/bsps/ht etc event/show if you could set up a table to sell stuff at the venue for a set fee/percentage of profits/ sponsorship of a class .
Have a garage sale - advertise as widely as possible before hand with good signage on the day .
