How much should I sell my saddles (Western, endurance, and cutback) for?
My barn is going to have a table at a tack sale in Ocala on Saturday, and I need to know how much I should charge for these four saddles.
This one, in black: http://www.horsesaddleshop.com/fabtron-trail-saddle.html
It's about 5 years old. It had six sets of saddle strings, but one set is missing now. Other than that, it's perfect other than being a little worn.

I've had it for two years, but it's only been used about ten times. It looks perfect. It's regularly $570.
And then I have two cutback saddles. One is a Shively kid's saddle in OKAY condition (has a few scratches). The other is a Lovatt and Ricketts adult (I don't know how many inches) saddle in great condition. They both will come with stirrups and stirrup leathers.
I wish my barn had tack sales!
The first one, $350, maybe $400.
The second one, $250.
I now that's well below what they're listed new as, but lower level saddles are like cars. Once you drive them off the lot, their worth decreases dramatically.
