How much of a loss do you take? I have a tex tan I bought new and have barely used it mostly has sat on its stand inside as never wanted to put on the horses when they were green now doesn't fit either one paid$2200 new and asking $1200 obo is that a fair price? The rough out still looks new it looks the same as it did the day I picked it up.

Seems like you have it priced at a pretty good loss but your best bet is to trade it in at a big saddle shop- primarily the place where you bought it.
Otherwise- post at make offer and you will know right quick what someone will give.

That sounds VERY reasonable. Pricing used saddles is hard. I'm trying to sell my sister's Circle Y JBN and all the ones I looked at to compare were priced kinda randomly.

Tex tans are hard to sell.. They had a bad rep and people don't seem to know how much better te quality is. If mine fit my horse I would never sell that saddle.
