    It isn't just a proof-of-condition, but also a verification of what saddle you're selling. Given that masherz/bikemania (are they the same company?) sell a TRK for $80, someone might want to verify that that is the same saddle you're selling or whether you're selling a different SMP model.

    Picture against the floor, or, heck, even concrete. No one will learn anything about you except maybe that you don't live in a very, very rural area.

    I think the 'never be too careful' was in reference to making the person who buys the saddle comfortable that it is truly in the condition she says it's in...not that she was worried about her own safety.

    Thanks GLC, finally- a LADY who thinks before she types!

    (If I had known a simple "saddle for sale" post was going to get ripped to shreds by a pack of feral cats, I wouldn't have bothered... I'll manage without this forum. Thanks anyway Ladies!)

    I don't see what was so bad about someone asking for pictures.. how is anyone who doesn't know you supposed to assume anything about your for sale posts if you can't even provide a simple picture upon request?

    Furthermore, anyone can BUY that same saddle brand new for less than $75 (including shipping) if they shop around. Sorry if you paid more than that for yours, but it doesn't change the fact that someone would have to be taking a pretty big gamble on yours to pay basically the same price as new retail for a used saddle (even if only briefly), since you don't seem to be willing to provide a simple photograph of it?

    Yet you're the "victim"...
