However I would advise that padlocks be of a high standard, … Read entire article »

In the past we frequently took on your used saddles to sell on commission. In 2013 we will no longer be able to offer this service due to the fact that Mindbuzzler Ltd is VAT registered and we therefore need to apply VAT. To break even on one of your saddles we need to add 20% to the sales price and if we add a commission on top of that we have to either offer the saddle too expensive or pay the owner less than what the saddle is worth. For saddles we have already taken on on commission we will aim to sell them to the conditions we have agreed with each individual client but we will no longer take any saddles for commission which is a shame as … Read entire article »
