Trying to sell, but OH NO

[vicklynn]

Not happening.
I sold some panels and gates yesterday, cool. I then put up an add for free manure, firewood for sale, cool, truck shell up for sale, cool(no response yet) Then I figure, what the heck, Im gonna put my Trekker Endurance saddle up for sale. Took pics, went out to see what prices on them are now, and oh heck no, I am not selling it for dirt cheap. Did you know you can buy a Trekker Endurance Neutron saddle, brand new, on ebay for 265.00. Heck, I paid over $400 for mine new, and its barely used. So nope, not selling, oh well. I love it enough to keep it, but with my Big Horn, I dont use it. I guess Ill be putting it to use this yr..lol.
Just kinda wowed me in a not so good way.

Also, if you look in your new magazine from horse.com(this is not a rag on them)You will find that there is a Trekker Endurance saddle for dirt cheap(good thing)and then below it you will find a King Series trail saddle(same maker as the Trekker)and if you look, the ONLY difference in the 2 saddles is 1)the trail saddle has tooling, and 2)they added leathers for tying gear. Same saddle as the Trekker but a higher price. Wow, King Series is figuring this out hu? LOL

I think Ill tool on my Trekker, put leathers on it, and sell it for a high price..LMBO
NOT happening though.

Glad you caught it.

Lol. Good decision on the no sell. It's like a car, well some cars, once you drive them off the lot they aren't worth what they were worth when you bought them. I guess some saddles can be the exception to that. I was pricing used western saddles at Teskeys in Weatherford the other day and a lot of them were more than the new ones!! I was shocked, because some of them weren't in the best of condition!

I would keep it too. I can't stand to take too much of a beating when you sell something that is practically brand new.

All of the cheaper Asian import saddles have come way down in price. EBay is really to blame for that one. It's flooded with low priced saddles that are about the same quality (or only slightly lower in quality) as King Series and the Trekker saddles.

You'd be better off giving your Trekker to a rescue or therapeutic riding center and getting a $400 tax write off ;).
