Hi all,

Looking to buy this used Rodrigo Pessoa 17" Gen-X saddle, approximately 15 years old. How much is a reasonable price for this saddle? Pictures included. Thank you:)

(PS_ posted this originally in the tack review section.. then realized this is probably the correct category!)

That saddle doesn't look as if it's been cared for properly, with all the cracks in the leather. It looks a heck of a lot older than 15. I have a 40 y/o Stubben that's in much better shape.

I'd pass on it, honestly. Once the leather's cracked like that, there's no bringing it back.

Well I just paid $1,600 for a 15-year-old Tad Coffin (brand new they are $6,000) that is in excellent condition. The leather and stitching is perfect. I got a steal of a deal on it.

For the saddle in question, I would certainly pay way less than $1,000 for it, especially when I think a brand new Pessoa will run you around $2,500 (if I remember correctly). That leather is in dire need of some TLC. I'd see if you can find a better one.
