About Used English Saddles
- How old is the used saddle?
- Just how used is the English saddle? Does the seller clearly state that
the saddle is barely used, heavily used, etc.?
- Are there several clear
pictures of the saddle? In most cases you will want photos of the saddle
from all angles, including underneath. If there are not enough photos to let
you see the saddle as well as you would like, email the seller before you
bid or buy and ask for additional photos.
- What size is the seat of the
saddle? What are the flap and gullet measurements?
- If the seller claims the
saddle is a certain brand or make, do they give model and serial numbers,
and/or show an identifying stamp or plate
on the saddle to back up their claim?
- Does the saddle come with or
without fittings (girth, stirrups, stirrup leathers, etc.)? It would not be unusual
for a used saddle to sell without these items, so you should know exactly what you are, and are not, getting.
- If the saddle does come with any fittings, are they also clearly
described and shown in the photos?
- Does the saddle have any defects? It is reasonable to assume that a used English saddle may have some defects
of some kind. The seller should clearly describe any scratches, scuffs,
tears, stains, etc., and show them in the pictures if possible.
- What will the shipping charges be?
- Every eBay item for sale has
a "Meet the seller" area. Be sure to check this area to view the feedback
rating that previous buyers have left for that particular seller. There is
also an area where a potential buyer can read comments left by previous
buyers.
- If you have any
questions on a used Western saddle be sure to ask the seller before you bid. Look for the "Ask
seller a question" link in the "Meet the seller area" to ask your questions.
