Selling Options
1. Consignment
2. Trade in
3. Sell outright
Just tick your preference on the saddle to sell form.
We will assess your saddle and let you know what we think we could sell it for, our 30 plus years of industry experience enables us to price saddles to achieve the best possible result. It is in our interest as much as yours to price correctly taking into account how much demand there is for a particular brand, model, size and condition etc.
If you are happy with the assessment we will email you a posting label to send the saddle to us, along with some details of how to pack it so it reaches us safely.
Local customers can drop their saddle in to us, if you'd like us to agree on a selling price before you drop it in, complete the form otherwise we can asses it once we see it. (Assessments are not done on the spot) To arrange a time to drop it off please call our store.
Consignment
This option pays you the most money, we pay you when the saddle sells, (after the trial period has finished).
Customers will have the opportunity to purchase your saddle with full advantage of company trial/return policy, credit card payments or interest free finance.
We will set an agreed price which will be fixed for a set period. It is not our policy to take offers on saddles advertised. Prices advertised are firm. This selling format ensures a price too low is not accepted and the saddle has a chance to sell at the full price we would expect to receive.
We aim to sell saddles within 12 weeks, most sell much quicker, while some less popular saddles or odd sizes can take longer to sell. We are usually happy to continue to market your saddle beyond 12 weeks.
Trade In
If you plan on buying a saddle from us we may take your saddle as part exchange. The price we offer will depend on many factors. As a guide it would likely be between 50 & 60% of its lowest selling price.
We will assess your saddle from the pictures and details you supply via the saddle to sell form and then give you a trade in value.
There are two options with trade in, you can send your trade in saddle to us before we post the new one so you pay only the difference in price or you can trial your new saddle first, once you are happy that you will be keeping it you post us your trade in. This second option needs you to pay in full for the new saddle, we refund the trade in value once we receive your trade in saddle.
Sell Outright
If you need a quick sale then selling outright will be quickest option.
The price we will pay would likely be around 50% of its lowest selling price. We do not offer to buy all saddles, our decision to buy or not depends on many factors.
We are an authorised Second Hand Dealer and in accordance with the current legislation we require proof of identification from all sellers when selling outright.
