I have no idea... but the kid and the dog are adorable and I can't make out the bridles, etc. on the carpet at all. Make sure your pictures really show off your stuff and, if it needs cleaning (and you have the means to do so) picture it clean. Good luck.

It's going to depend on your location and the condition of the tack. If you have English tack in a primarily Western area or vice versa you'll get less. I think you'd get more if you broke it up. If you were close to me and had snaffle bits and Western bridles I'd love some.

You would make a lot more off it if you split it into smaller lots. Put English stuff together and Western stuff together. Sell anything really fancy individually.

You might consider Ebay rather than Craigslist and let the market decide what it is worth.

You should post brands and sizes and you will probably find buyers here, not for the whole lot, but for various items within the lot.

I'm interested in the sleezy and maybe one of the winter blankets depending on weight and size.

I just put it on craigslist without prices, and had people make me offers. Sold the 2 winter blankets for $20 each, the lighter blanket for $20, 2 bridles and a halter and a bit for $15. I really just want to get rid of it, haha!

Saanengirl- the sleezy is still here if you want to PM me and make an offer :-)

I will try to get better pics later and post them to see if you guys are interested in any of it.

Thanks!

I would think that only a reseller would buy that much assorted tack. I would size it, measure it, clean it, look for brand names on the bits as well as the leather and blankets and take really good, well lit pictures on a plain background and put it on E bay or list it on Craigslist after listing it here if you want to get the most out of it. If you just want to get rid of it, then dump it as one lot but it will only bring a fraction of what you could get for it.

Can you take closer pictures of the extra bits you have and give measurements on the bits? Also, I would like to see a closer picture of that tank de-icer and any extra English reins you have.
