#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hi Clio;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#When I was selling my saddles I told people they were more than welcome to try it out. If it was someone close by I offered to meet them half way and I would let them try it out in exchange for a cheque for the full amount of the saddle that I would hold onto for a couple of days while they tried the saddle.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Sometimes people came right to my house to pick the saddle up, other times I met them half way (if not too far).#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#For someone further away I told them to mail me their cheque. When I got the cheque I sent them the saddle to try on condition that if they didn't like it they would have to pay for shipping the saddle back to me and I would not mail their cheque back until I got my saddle back. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My one saddle ended up going all the way to BC (and sold)
#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I found that everyone I dealt with was very honest, most people are, just watch out for e-mails that sound suspicious, like scammers... e-mails where the buyer asks to send more money for the item than your asking and send the differnce back to them in cash, or e-mails with very bad grammer and that don't refer to your item... ie: "I would like to buy this item"... most people would refere to your item as a "saddle", and ask questions about it....#ed_op#BR#ed_cl##ed_op#BR#ed_cl#The lady in BC that bought my saddle dealt with me over the phone, her daughter e-mailed me first asking questions about the saddle, than the mother called me directly so I knew it was a pretty safe bet.... funny, I got people chatting with me and e-mailing me pics of their horses etc. LOL....#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Good Luck!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
