Oh it took a number of auctions to win one for a price I deemed acceptable. It was used for about 2 weeks before the owner decided he didn't want to go through the break in. It being my first leather saddle, I didn't know what to expect...though now having owned one, every time I am on something else I always end up missing the Brooks. To me, the cost is justified.
