Hah, fair enough.

If you gave me that saddle, I would use a few parts and save a little money, as follows:

Tension pin, new, from Niagara: $5.58
nose, new, from Niagara: $3.60
Eyelets from the bag loops... otherwise unavailable, difficult to remove intact, available from Brooks, GBP 1.90


The frame no doubt has some value, but only to someone who needs one; and I have lots of them.

Add it up, factor in the effort to remove the usable parts, account for some rust and some damage, and ... well, if it had a good badge on the back, it would definitely be worth the cost of shipping it to me, but without it it's cutting pretty close to the break even point.
