How much should I sell my saddle for?

Question

I have a brown 17" all purpose saddle. It's used, with a few seat cracks but oh so very comfy!!! I think it has a wide tree, though I'm not sure. The stirrups are 54" long, the irons are 5 1/2" long and 1 3/4" wide (at the bottom). They are emergency release and have the "cheese grater" stirrup pads.

They is tag/plaque thing under the flap where you put your stirrup leather through, that reads "Varela" and under that "Made In Aregentia" but I googled that and nothing came up.

Here are some pictures; please tell me how much you would sell (or buy) this saddle for? I paid 160, as did the lady I bought it from.

Answer 4

All purpose saddles are not as desired as a CC/jumping or dressage, tack and leather from Argentina is not as high quality, and although I can't view the pictures-if there is major damage like cracks that lowers the value majorly.

I would not pay more than 50 dollars for it, tbh.

Answer 5

I couldn't see the saddle, but you can get on ebay and type in saddles and see what comes up and how much they are asking for their saddles, you can be general or specific as to what type of saddles you want to see

Answer 6

Unfortunately the Argentina saddle sell for about $100 brand new.  Typically, if you like the saddle and think it's comfortable - you're best off to just keep it as an extra (after all, we tend to show sometimes in the rain or we'll have a friend that needs to borrow a saddle).  Hope that isn't too disappointing to you!  Best wishes!

I couldn't get in. You need a password.

Answer 8

The seat cracks are the big problem if they are very wide . You can probably get most of your money out of it if you've kept it oiled. Get a cover to protect it from further damage.Your best guideline is to take it to a tack store and ask what they would put it up for, Argentinian saddles don't normally sell for as much as those from Europe because of the tanning process and quality of leather used
