What do you think?

I have a pait of tall, black English riding boots. They are in very good condition, and once I clean them up a bit I want to sell them somewhere (www.amazon.com maybe?).





So my question is, how much would I be able to sell them for (I%26#039;m not exactly sure since I have never sold boots before online). I originally bought them for $80. I%26#039;m going to try to get a picture up within the next few weeks too.





The reason I am selling them is because I have outgrown them and I bought a pair of paddock boots because I can%26#039;t stand taking the tall boots on and off, haha. So I also need half-chaps, and I was wondering how much English half-chaps generally cost and if it would be possible to make a trade between the tall boots and half-chaps.





( And I%26#039;m not asking anyone to trade....I%26#039;m asking if it would be REASONABLE to make a trade like that or would it be an unfair trade).





Thanks!

I think you could sell your boots for fifty and buy some good half chaps for 35, if speeds an issue the trade would be a loss for you but, whatever
Reply:The tack shop I go to has a consignment table where people bring in boots, tack, blankets, etc., that are in good shape but that they no longer need/want. If they sell, the store gives you 75% of the sale price in form of a gift certificate for their store. That could go towards the purchase of new boots and half-chaps. Maybe a tack shop near you does the same.


I bought suede half chaps for $45, but fancier leather ones cost around $100.
Reply:be a great trade, maybe you could put up a flyer at your barn someone else may have grown out of theirs or I think e-bay I have friends who do lots of buying and selling there.
Reply:I think half-chaps are around $40 for suede but more for leather. I think that the trade would be good as long as the chaps are good quality
