Reach Saddle Shoppers
Your approved saddle is listed where riders are already shopping for new and used saddles.
Skip the Private-Sale Hassle
No creating ads, arranging meetings with strangers, collecting payment, or coordinating delivery with a private buyer.
Potentially Get More Than a Trade-In
Consignment generally makes the most sense when your goal is maximizing what you receive and you do not need immediate trade credit.
What Does Consignment Cost?
25% Consignment Fee
HSS keeps 25% of the saddle's selling price. We also deduct the actual cost of shipping the saddle to the buyer because HSS offers free shipping to the buyer.
Simple Example
If your saddle sells for $1,000 and shipping to the buyer costs $30, your payment would be $720 before any buyer coupon deduction. Buyer coupon discounts, when used, are also deducted up to a 5% maximum.
If you have a specific amount you want to receive, tell us in the form and we can help determine an appropriate starting list price.
How Saddle Consignment Works
Send Details & Photos
Tell us about the saddle, including brand, model or serial number, seat size, tree size, condition and your preferred starting price if you have one.
HSS Reviews It
Our saddle team reviews the information and current market demand to determine whether the saddle is a good fit for our consignment program.
Ship It to HSS
Once you are ready to send it, use our packing guidance and discounted shipping options, and clearly mark the package “Attn Consignment.”
We List & Sell It
After inspection, we confirm the listing price and prepare the saddle for sale. Once it sells, we send your payment after the buyer's 30-day return period has expired.
How Long Does It Take to Sell?
Average: About 30 Days
Our average consignment saddle sells in about 30 days, although some sell faster and some take longer. We ask that you give us a minimum of 90 days to market and sell your saddle.
Price Adjustments
You can tell us when you want the price lowered. Otherwise, we may reduce the price about every six months, usually by 5% or $50. If the saddle has not sold after two years, we may ask you to have it returned.

What does HSS charge to consign my saddle?
Our consignment fee is 25% of the saddle's selling price, plus the actual shipping cost to the buyer. If the buyer uses a coupon, that discount is also deducted, up to a maximum of 5%.
What saddles do you accept for consignment?
Saddles submitted for consignment must have an expected value of at least $550. Final acceptance also depends on condition, safety, brand, age, market demand and physical inspection.
Can I choose the selling price?
Yes. Include your preferred starting list price when you send the saddle. If you would rather have HSS price it, simply tell us and we will price it accordingly after inspection.
How long should I expect HSS to have my saddle?
The average consignment saddle sells in about 30 days, but some take longer. We ask consignors to allow us a minimum of 90 days to market and sell the saddle.
Will the price ever be reduced?
You can tell us when you want the price lowered. Otherwise, we may reduce the price about every six months, usually by 5% or $50. If the saddle remains unsold after two years, we may ask you to have it returned.
When do I get paid?
After the saddle sells, HSS sends your payment after the buyer's 30-day return period has expired.
Is consignment better than a trade-in?
Consignment generally gives you the opportunity to receive more money, but you wait until the saddle sells. Trade-in usually provides less value but gives you credit toward another saddle sooner.
Can HSS help with shipping my saddle to you?
Yes. We can provide discounted shipping-label options and packing materials. Clearly mark the package “Attn Consignment” and include your contact information and preferred starting price—or permission for HSS to price it accordingly.
Should I send accessories with the saddle?
No. Please send the saddle only; HSS does not sell accessories with consigned saddles.
