So I have come across a nice lady who is looking to turn her "office" space at the barn into a Consignment Shop the beginning of October. As she's only 20mins from me I decided I should have a go through of my old tack and clothes and sell off what I don't need or will never use again to buy a new set of breeches and boots. So I was thinking what would sell best.

I have 5-7 pairs of everyday breeches(mostly cotton with faux suede knee patches), a show outfit (full seat breeches in white and long sleeved shirt/stock pin/black jacket), two pairs of rubber PVC lined boots, and a pair of nice fringed chaps that I won't fit into ever again most likely so they will be going. But I also have a complete bridle, a couple random bits, and some extra bridle pieces, a couple halters/lead ropes and an extra long girth that are all in good condition.

But I don't know how many people buy used tack. Is it worth pricing and trying to sell? I'm sure she would be glad of the inventory to fill her space, but I don't want to waste her time if it never sells. None of it is spectacular, but it is all well cared for and in good repair.

If you have quality tack, then people will buy. The quality tack lasts more than a lifetime. Some of my saddles I have bought used and they are great saddles. If you have cheap nylon tack, then it isn't worth trying to see.

An interesting side note, a local lady had a consignment shop. It turned out she would sell the tack and pocket the cash. The original owner was never paid. There are still many people in town that would like to get money from her.
