I've been poking around, considering a new saddle for a while because I have four rideable horses and all of them have different backs (no gullet systems. I hate them). Anywho, I stumbled across a vintage Hermes (*cough* Steinkraus *cough*) that is in absolutely pristine condition. It's halfway across the country, and it's a private seller who is not offering a trial option. I have no way of knowing whether it will actually fit me or any of my horses. But it's a steal. A less than $500 steal.
So....do I act on impulse and buy it, figuring that even if it doesn't fit me or my horses I can sell it for many times what I paid for it, or do I let it slip away?
