in a way yes, as you aren't a shop with all its legal requirements on warranty etc. The item is second hand and therefore worth less- you are trying to get back the full cost which included VAT, and I don't think for one moment you'll be paying the VAT back to HMG on your sale.
If the saddle is in short supply and there's huge demand, you could get lucky. If you hang onto it for say 20 years, it may possibly rise in value, but that's a risk.
Galling I know, but that's life.
I do wish you Good Luck with the sale.
