This needs to be restated. It can be annoying when you buy something and then can't use it, and if you sell it, you take a loss. But these losses can be seen as rental fees. And they are completely worth it. You don't even lose much with expensive saddles. Resale value is pretty good, especially when you buy them used. You really need to try a lot of saddles, and I'm not sure how valuable it is to get reports of comfortable saddles from other people. Their comfort doesn't mean you'll have the same.
