Best place to sell old saddle

It's a decent make (Stübben) but old and smells a bit like a museum!
I've listed on fb marketplace/groups and have attracted scammers and a couple of genuine enquiries plus eBay (no interest).
Anywhere else you can suggest?

No, it's a nightmare. The amount of scammers! You could always give it to a local saddler and see if they'd sell it for you although when I did this it took 8 months to sell. EBay is the best place really in that it weeds out scammers.

I sold two lovely Fairfax saddles (one dressage, one jump) via the Saddle Bank and got a decent price for both - it took a couple of months for one to sell and only a week or so for the other. I’d initially tried preloved but it was a pain constantly answering questions only to receive nothing back. However I don’t know if they’d take anything really old. I suspect your best option would be to see if a local saddle fitter would sell it in your behalf - they’ll take a cut but it’s worth not having to deal with the hassle imo

Have you tried Sheepham saddles, sold mine easy peasy I suggest speak to them first and they arrange pick up. No scammers, good prices and Jo is lovely.
