I posted a Jeff Smith cutting saddle for sale on Ranchworld. I got so many scam offers that I finally gave up and just decided to keep it as a loaner spare in the barn. Selling stuff on line these days is both a blessing an curse. You reach a lot of potential buyers, and even more scamers. Good luck. I guess PayPal can work. Take money up front, don't ship on approval. Face to face in a safe public place can work. Green folding cash only.

I've sold lots of saddles! ALWAYS use pay pal and no friends and family!!! Once you sell and buyer sends money, transfer that money to your bank. Ship saddle. Take pictures of tracking numbers and send to the buyer. Also input tracking info into pay pal. Super easy. Then buyer and seller are protected.
