Where to sell an Ideal H&C?

[fairyclare]

Quick question - other than ebay where else can I advertise my saddle?
Its an Ideal H&C, I was lead to believe they are highly sought after..... or not!

I bought it 2yrs ago and was never happy with the fit, its been used a max of 10 times, I now have a WOW.

What is really confusing me is that when I was looking for a 2nd hand XW saddle I couldn't find ANYTHING, hence having to buy new, the phrase 'like hens teeth' springs to mind!

Now I want to sell the damn thing no one wants it!

So far I have advertised it on the selling pages on Facebook and replied to any 'wanted' adds I see, so far, nothing!

Help!

Thank you x

Saddles direct, people are more likely to buy from a company then from a single person over the Internet

I'm having a nightmare ATM; trying to sell a Jeffries Elite and having no luck at all. I disagree about people being more likely to buy from a company. I've sold a few saddles in the past and had no probs at all, and I'm always quite happy to buy from an individual (bought 3 or 4). Everything I've sold in recent years has been either cheapy or a synthetic saddles which I could have sold 10x over, but I'm having no luck with the Jeffries at all. It's only a couple of years old and like the OP, never really been happy with the fit. Now have a new one (Ideal) which my horse loves, goes so so much better in it so clearly more comfy and I prefer it too, but I need to get the Jeffries sold.

Mine's on Saddles Direct, Horsemart plus various FB groups. If anyone has any more suggestions, they'd be gratefully received!

I wonder if people just arent buying at the mo. Im the same as the OP, I have an xxw ideal that came with my pony, the seller kindly let me buy it from her because I just couldnt find anything locally either new or 2nd hand that both fitted him and I liked. Now Ive managed to find my perfect saddle but I cannot sell the old one. Ive tried preloved, various forums and the local tack shop notice board. Not a fan of ebay for saddles but think I might give it a go.

My Jeffries is on Preloved. Also on Horsemart, local FB groups, loads of saddles for sale FB groups, and on some forums too. The only place I don't have it is Ebay. Also trying to sell BF's Wii U and no interest in that either.
