Old unused saddles

[Maherees]

Hi all,
is there a recycling type place I can take my ever-growing mound of unsued saddles? i know I could spend some time placing each one on eBay and then packing and going to the post office but I just don't have the time for this and just want to give them away as they just seem to mount up.
many thanks

Send any Charge Knife saddles to me. I'll give you some beer tokens in exchange.

There's likely to be a bike recycling charity near you that would take them. Where are you at?

And here I am with a saddle shortage after building bikes from my box of bits. (Note to self: always avoid alliteration).

They are awkward things to wrap and post, but I'd be happy to make a donation to a charity, or send some money for three or four decent ones.

You could photograph them and put them on here. Someone may be happy to buy them.

I did that in the 'Free' sub-forum and someone took the whole pile off me.

As @vickster said. Umbrella Fair on the Racecourse in Northampton. At the best of times they do not open on time! Nice people, though.
I've left stuff outside their doors, or by the café entrance. Tyres, other spare bits of bike that I've upgraded etc.
I'm sure that if you were to leave the saddles there, they'd find their way into the bike charity as others work in the building as well.

Thanks for the replies, I’ll give umbrella fair a go.
