How much is it worth? Wintec

kanoo32 · 08-19-2008, 10:10 AM

I have a person that owes me money and told me to sell her saddle. It is a wintec, english, black with the adjustable gullets. It is fitted 16 12" in excellent condition, it has only been used a few times, and kept indoors.

So I ask you HT'ers how much is it worth, I need to sell it, or take offers on it or whatever I need to do.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Pictures needed...or additional details-what type of Wintec? Dressage, All Purpose, Close Contact, etc...?

Which model is it? Some of thier saddles don't go for much new, some maintain their value very well.

Wintec's most expensive English saddle is the Isabel dressage saddle. It goes for about $990, give or take a few. Because it is NOT leather, it will naturally not have the same lifetime as a leather saddle. Nor will it maintain its appearance as well or for as long. I have seen ones a few months old go for about $700, but those about 2 years old go for $300-$500, depending on condition and what is included with the saddle (ALL the gullets, cover, measuring gauge, one or two sets of blocks, girth, stirrups, 'webber' leathers, saddle pad). It is the synthetic analogue of the Bates Isabel saddle (same company), which is the same saddle but in leather - and costs 3 times more - but holds its value much, much better.

6 years ago, I sold my 1 year old Wintec Pro dressage saddle for $300, in mint condition. It did not have CAIR or adjustable gullets.

It has all the fittings, with a cover, andis the model 2000 with adjustable gullets.

I had a Wintec 2000 w/out the adjustable gullets, and sold it for I believe $300 on Ebay last summer. It was in good condition. Here is one right now on Ebay going for about that: http://cgi.ebay.com/WINTEC-2000-AP-1...QQcmdZViewItem

I think all you're going to get for it is $2 so you might as well give it to me... I'll even pay for shipping...

Funny, very funny!

I just want to get what I can get for it, and call it a day!

I'd probably try to get $400 for it.

I paid $500-somethingorother when I bought my Wintec 2000 brand new but that was a few years ago. I also got the whole gullet kit too.
