Consign Your Saddle with JLM The Store
At JLM, we understand the challenges of selling your used items. The options to sell online can be so challenging and frustrating. So, let us handle it all for you.
Ease of Consignment
Email us at Lori@JLMTheStore.com with information on the item(s) or saddles you are interested in consigning. If it is something we feel we can sell for you, we will email you our Consignment Agreement.
Or feel free to stop in with it to discuss and to complete our Consignment Agreement.
We ask all items be clean & in working condition, something you would feel comfortable putting on your own horse or have in your home.
Please know there are some items we are not accepting on consignment. Feel free to contact us to discuss if you have any questions.
We do a lot of research to see what your items are currently selling for new & used online before deciding on a competitive price. Saddles prices are discussed and agreed upon with the consignor prior to listing it for sale.
Consigning with us is easy and relieves you of having to deal with listing your item, dealing with scammers and arranging packaging and shipping. We will take care of all of that for you.
Once we agree to accept your item on consignment, we will have you complete our Consignment Agreement for the item!
Please ensure everything is clean and in working condition and is something you would feel comfortable putting on your own horse or having on display in your home.
Website and Facebook Sales
All saddles placed on consignment will be listed on this website along with Facebook Marketplace. We take multiple pictures from different angles, measurements and detail are all provided for a buyer to make an easy purchase decision. Click on the Saddle page to see how your saddle will be marketed.
If a buyer is interested, they can purchase the saddle on our website and we will handle all the packing and shipping of the saddle. All saddles are insured for the price of the saddle and the buyer pays for the shipment of the saddle, so no expense to you as the consignor.
Cleaning Your Saddle
If a saddle is clean, it will sell faster and for a higher price. We believe the best, and quickest, way to sell an item is when it looks its best on the floor and in photographs,
If your saddle needs cleaning, we can help arrange for it to be cleaned at a local saddle cleaner. Please know, the time it takes to clean the saddle, will also delay the time in which we can get it listed for sale. So please clean your items before you bring them in.
Saddle Try-Out Period
There is plenty of room to park at The Store so bring your horse and give a saddle a try! In addition, any saddle purchased at JLM The Store will come with a short trial period that is dependent on if the saddle is purchased locally or shipped to the purchaser. The buyer purchases the saddle in full, takes it home, tries it on their horse, and, if it does not work out, they would have the option of bringing it back. As the consignor you are protected as we reserve the right to refuse refunds for any reason, such as the saddle coming back damaged. Since we take full payment up front there is no risk to you, as a seller.
Consignment Q & A:
Q: Do you consign saddles?
A: Yes, we consign most western saddles. The saddle must be clean and in good, rideable condition. We do not take in saddles that are incomplete (missing stirrups), damaged, broken and needing repairs.
Q: How do I know what price to put on my saddle?
A: We first ask you to send us some pictures and info on the saddle. When we know the maker, type (rope, barrel, reining, ranch, trail, etc), age, condition, serial # (if available) it helps us research the current market for your saddle. We then discuss this price with you to ensure we’re doing our best to represent you and your saddle.
Q: How fast will my saddle sell?
A: Our Consignment Agreement is for 90 days and most saddles have sold within that time frame. Some sell fast and some don’t - so we do our best to continue to market the saddle on our social media pages and here, on our website.
Q: Does it cost me anything to consign my saddle with you if my saddle doesn’t sell?
A: Nope - not a thing!
Q: Do you offer saddle cleaning or repair services?
A: No, but we are happy to provide you with some recommendations.
