There are several used Billy Cook Pleasure saddles for sale on e-bay to compare yours to. You can also check out tack-trader.com. Try there. It seems that used Pleasure saddles don't hold their value like some of the Barrel Racing ones do.

I recently sold a Tex Tan loaded with silver show saddle for $1200. It was in excellent condition -- had only been ridden in the show pen and had been kept in a saddle bag. It had the silver horn, close contact cut-outs and silver stirrups. I had paid $2000 for it new in 1999. The style was such that it was still "current" so I was in luck that it was in demand. It sold within about three days of my listing it on ebay for the $1200 buy-now price. As others stated, the Harris and Blue Ribbons are very popular and hold their value.... and so do Bob's.

Ok..i have someone wanting to trade this for a horse..and wanted to make sure the prices were somewhat in the same ball park. Thank you for your replies. I did check ebay and most similar ones did not have bids in that range. (She wants 1600$ for the saddle). I dont want to trade the horse and loose my fanny if the saddle is not of equal value.
