Selling saddles.. RDR2 online.

[Macdallan]

So, I bought a saddle I didn't want accidentally while looking through options. It was my fault I bought the darn thing even though it was an accident but it ate up nearly all of my cash and I'd like to sell it back. The game says you can sell or discard saddles, and has an option to discard it by holding the space bar, but does *NOT* provide an option to sell it back but that's what I want to do. I don't want that saddle and I'd like to recover a bit of the wasted cash. Anyone know if the game's just lying to me when it claims I can sell it? All the searches I've done online seem to indicate if you discard a saddle then it's gone forever and you get nothing. Why would the text on the left under your list of saddles say you can sell it if you can't?

That's the first page I saw when I searched and it indicates that you don't get anything if you discard the saddle. That makes sense, if you discard it you're just tossing it away. The problem is that it doesn't actually say anything about selling it, and honestly Reddit isn't exactly a trustworthy source so I thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone knows if there's any way to sell them. At this point I'm assuming you can't since the game doesn't actually give you a sell option on the right unless maybe a fence would buy it back.

I don't really care that much about the cost. It's my fault for not being more careful when browsing the saddles and it was only around $70 anyway. I'll get that back quickly. The main annoyance is that in the game there's text saying that you can sell or discard but it will not let you sell. If you can't sell it back then the game shouldn't say that you can.

i think it's done this way so people cant add saddles and what not via cheats then sell them back ,

Yep - can't "Sell" a saddle bought by accident - or on a drunk spending spree - like real life.

I'm just starting and don't know what to buy - so now that I have Trader and am 1 Delivery Away from the big wagon - I can get drunk and go shopping more often.

Still don't know what to buy, but it doesn't matter as much.

:D

Yep! I might work toward trader so I can get a wagon. I like hunting but only being able to bring one large item at a time is quite limiting.

Is it just me or is the economy in the game an absolute mess? Even in the SP game the costs are completely out of whack.

[JuiceWSA]

It's the Economy... we have to deal with it.

You know, I have the big delivery wagon - it takes longer to load, but the payout is nice for one distant trip. It's easy to feed Pipps with only a horse, depending where ol' Pippshot sets the camp.

Anywhere around Emerald Ranch and it's almost too easy. Stay as far away from Valentine as possible - change sessions if you have to. Right now, I'm sitting between 3 Buck Spawns and have so much free time on my hands I've located every Squirrel, Ginseng and Indian Tobacco Plant in the Area.

I just ran a random bounty mission - out of boredom watching Pippersnot churn the butter. I came back with another Buck and filled his meter again.

I considered the hunting wagon, but can now see - not only is it a PITA - it's unnecessary.

It is a grind until you get the large delivery wagon, but at the same time you get the efficiency perk - so you harvest more from 3 Star carcasses.

Load something on the back of the horse, small animals on the sides, and drag one with the lasso if you see one on the way back - and you're good to go. You can do that every 15 minutes and keep him full. I'm sat here petting the dog...lol

You absolutely want to spend first to:
Upgrade your Perk Cards
Get and upgrade some good weapons - repeater, rifle, bow, rolling block - and the navy revolver is AWESOME.
The money is so good, you can pick and choose stuff you've been wanting, but couldn't afford - like a big saddle you didn't want.

I just bought another horse - Dark Bay Andalusian. Don't get me wrong, the Blue Roan MFT is a fine horse, but that Andy is so brave he hardly snorts at snakes - if that tells you anything...

;)

depends on your level , the top tier saddles with good stirrups are great , the navy pistols , the volcano pistols , the buckskin mustang is all i use , learn the crafting of good potions , ability cards are very important, hats dont matter, guns abilities and skills do , get the stew pot for the camp , a good horse , good pistol and rifle and you will have a great time , dont bother with bootlegger it's a waste , you can make way more with collector (my fav) and trader, bounty hunter for gold ,

Forgot an important observation and a weapon you need:
Springfield or Rolling Block ASAP.

Sure, the Bolt Action is a good medium power rifle, but it's not a High Powered Rifle.
I've had Bolt Action Express Rounds bounce off Bucks, Elks and don't even think about a Moose.

I've had to dispatch many 'bleeders' to stop their suffering - and it just ruins the pelt.
The Bolt Action - is more suited to Humans.
Large Animals need a High Powered Rifle - especially while you're using 'Regular Ammo'.

Yeah, I've noticed that. The repeater you start with takes a lot of shots to drop an elk even if you hit the in the head with the first shot so as soon as I have the rank and the cash I'll be upgrading to something with a bit more power.

[JuiceWSA]

The Bolt is affordable early, just hold off on large to massive animals until you get a Springfield or Rolling Block. The Rolling Block is well over $500 (with rifling and long scope). <---wow - that was twice as much as the dog...lol

The deal is that Trader Animals need to be whole carcasses - and they need to be perfect in order to bring the most return. It's a grind. It's going to be more of a grind if you can't drop perfect animals.

The Bow is actually the most efficient weapon you have for Whitetail and Buck, Bighorn, Black Bear. Elk and Moose are right out until the Springfield or Block. The Improved Bow only uses less Stamina - and that may be very useful. I've maxed my Stamina Tank and it still wastes the Stamina Drain for long pulls.

Unfortunately, no Improved Arrows - so massive animals can't be taken with the Bow.

Was in the market for a saddle.

Discovered I can't put a Naconauseous on my horse. That is the ugliest thing I ever laid eyes on and my horse told me he'd leave me if we bought that. I got the Fletcher and Bell Stirrups - me and the horse are satisfied.
