Sorry for another saddle post but where do you all get your saddles from? Saddler has nothing for under £500 so I am looking online.

I am looking for a 17' gfs or ideal saddle. Gp, event or vsd. I think I need a wide although I'm not 100% sure so somewhere I can return is a huge plus!!
Are saddles direct any good? They seem quite expensive? Anyone tried ride away?
 
ive got one of ebay before. and it was fab.and also one from my local ad trader. if you look through the free ad websites and places like that there are often loads of different ones. i did need to get them both reflocked to fit properly but still saved me loads of money.
 
I've had one from Rideaway. I wasn't really looking but fell in love with it on a trip to the shop to buy breeches!! Whoops. Service was excellent and I understand that returns are easy too - fortunately mine fitted like it had been made to measure. Are you close enough to go in and look (worth it IMO) or would you be using the online store?
 
I got an XW Ideal Grandee 16 1/2 inch saddle from local saddlers for £450 second hand! Plus rideaway I tried and they sent me a 12 inch saqddle advertised as a 17 inch!!

I've pm'd you. It's off to rideaway for them to sell otherwise! Rideaways prices are good but they said they don't always have Ideal stock in, it can take a while for them to become available.
 
I got my last one from Saddles Direct, cant complain, excellent customer service, prompt delivery and pick up of the ones I didn't buy. I would definately use them again.
