Rodeo Chaps: Good Things To Know Before Buying

When buying rodeo chaps off of eBay or anywhere, there are some things to make sure you know before you make your purchase.

Are the rodeo chaps new or used?

If they are used, its reasonable to expect a few scuffs. However, one thing almost no one wants is for the fringe to be badly damaged. If you're looking at used rodeo chaps, read the description to see what the seller may say about the condition of the fringe and/or look closely at the photos.

Is there a reserve on the chaps? If you don't want to bid without knowing what the reserve is, you can email the seller and ask them to reveal the amount of the reserve price. Many sellers will disclose their reserve price when asked, but not always.

If you don't know what a reserve is, it's a minimum amount a seller will accept for an item when selling it. If the bids do not get high enough to meet the reserve price, the item does not sell.

If there is a reserve on the rodeo chaps you're looking at, you'll see either "Reserve not met" or "Reserve met" right beneath the starting bid at the top of the listing. If there is not a reserve on the chaps, it won't say anything underneath the starting bid.
For example, the following auction has a reserve on it:

In the example above the $200.00 is the starting bid for the item, not the reserve price.

Rodeo chaps are prized for their appearance. Make sure there are enough photos that you know what the chaps look like. If not, email the seller and ask for more photos.

What size are the chaps? Try to get actual inch measurements instead of generic size labels.

How much will the shipping be? Rodeo chaps can be heavy, so be sure you know what the shipping charges are.

Every eBay item for sale has a "Meet the seller" area. Be sure to check this area to view the feedback rating that previous buyers have left for that particular seller. There is also an area where a potential buyer can read comments left by previous buyers.

If you have any questions be sure to ask the seller before you bid on or buy a pair of rodeo chaps. Look for the "Ask seller a question" link in the "Meet the seller area" to ask your questions.
