dressage saddles for sale?  
So today I've finally found horses to ride, somewhere to ride, and have all the tack in the world for these horses (although that's going to need to be shipped from PA to AZ, but I digress), with the exception of a saddle. Specifically a dressage saddle.

Now I've done the basic searches: Google'd used saddles, used dressage saddles, etc. Gone to the big used tack sites, ebay'd it, and also looked on the local craigslist (Phoenix, AZ). I thought I'd see if anyone out in Equestrian land had any good places to look for reasonably priced dressage saddles... that, or if anyone has anything for sale I'd be happy to have a look-see.

I'm looking for a 17-17.5" seat and medium to medium-wide tree... no Collegiate, Stubben, synthetic, or Courbette.

Thanks guys!

Jumping saddle search!  

I was just wondering if anyone has heard of a Harry Dabbs jumping saddle - there is one for sale on ebay and I have never heard of them or seen them before - they're an english saddle. 
Has anyone had any experience with them?

hope i got the tags right!

Eventing "Protective Jumping Safety Vest" For Sale  
I have a Casel Equi Inc. Pro-200 vest hanging in my closet that I have realized I will never use, so I am hoping to sell it. It was a requirement for a horse trial I was schooling for when I had my fall (which I posted about here previously) so I never got to wear it.
Never worn, size medium with adjustable velrco shoulders and stretchy lacing on the sides for perfect fit! It's black with purple trim, so it'd be easy to wear with a lot of other colors, and it's a nice color combo in terms of being eye-catching without being distracting. I chose this model because the solid spine piece and adjustable lacing really kept the demo from riding up my torso during the x-c, so it wasn't choking me by fence #3. It also wasn't too hot, and the extra panel under the zipper path added a lot of comfort. This is the longer torso one, so it goes all the way down the back.
Anyhow, my question is two-fold. 1) Would anyone here be interested in buying it? and 2) What are some good websites for selling these sorts of things? Has anyone used E-Bay or anything else along those lines, and if so, how successful was the deal? I bought it for over $250, so I'd like to ask about $200 but am very willing to negotiate if someone gives me a reason why it's not worth that much :-)
Thanks!

Saddles for sale  
i am the most direction-less person in the history of the world, and in the interest of me being able to buy a GPS and save millions of dollars worth of gas and minutes circling the state of Texas...i'm selling these saddles on eBay. one is an older Wintec, which might be the most comfortable saddle in the world. the other two are the kinds of saddles that just wind up in your tack room not being ridden in in 4 years...

any questions or anything, feel free to ask! i'll tell you as much as i know. all 3 are English saddles.

15.5'', brand unknown

17.5'', Kingston

17'', Wintec

All right, which one of you outbid me!?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170178565726&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DBidding

Actually, I'm kidding (and I don't really care, but decking my horse out in teal would be neat). But it's kinda funny. I bid 6 cents on it, and someone else bid 11. Hahaha. Sad that I'd be paying more for the shipping even if I won it.
