Every week we scour the Internet searching for a particularly juicy bargain on a high quality used western saddle and feature it here on the WSG Saddle Blog. The saddles featured are listed for sale on ebay as of the date of the post.
Checking out our Picks each week will give you some great insight into buying used saddles. Make sure to click through to the actual listing to see all of the photos and description from the seller.
The Western Saddle Guide is not the seller of the saddles featured and does not make any representations about them. We encourage all potential buyers to do their own due diligence on the seller and the saddle before purchasing.
LAST WEEK’S PICK:
It seems to me that saddle sellers and buyers are out of synch of late. I see lots of sellers listing saddles at the upper end of their value and buyers don’t seem to be biting. I think the sellers have to start realizing that it’s a buyers’ market right now and, if they truly want to sell their saddles, they need to get real and start their bidding at lower prices.
Last week’s pick – a nice little 13″ Youth Trail Saddle – hasn’t sold yet and is still listed on eBay. The “Buy It Now Price” is $299, but you can make a lower offer and. if you’re interested in the saddle, I’d recommend you do.
This week, we’ve chosen a popular Circle Y model. The saddle is a 17″ Circle Y Park and Trail Saddle. Circle Y has sold a lot of these models and they’ve been very popular, relatively light, general trail saddles.
The Park & Trails have Circle Y’s flex-lite tree, gel-insert seats, and taller, 5 inch cantles, making for a comfortable ride. This saddle is a handsome dark brown with acorn tooling
The seller claims the saddle has only been used 12 times and it certainly looks pretty darn new in the photos. A good opportunity to get a popular like-new saddle for a used saddle price. These saddles sell new for around $1500, so the starting bid price of $750 would be a good deal. There are no bids as of this writing.
