Does anybody here restore leather saddles?

You might consider adding a little to those prices. The oils, soaps & cloths alone will eat that up, especially on a saddle! Then, consider those that come in after sitting for years to have the "magic wand" happen. They will need more.

Heck yeah, reasonable pricing.

I don't want to up the pricing because while I know how to do this I am just starting out.

If you under price yourself, it might hurt you also. I would use this as a basis for average condition leather... I would definitely charge more for stuff that has sat around and gotten alot of mold and hardened.

yeah but all the products I use in total cost 15$ and I really enjoy doing it, its satisfying to see the end product

I would call those prices “light to medium duty cleaning “
Then a higher price for heavy duty cleaning.
It is fair to up charge for more work.

I just cleaned up a bunch of leather saddles for the first time before I sold them and I found it quite therapeutic, does anybody do this as a side hustle or just for fun or even as a career? Are there any tips or tricks on it?

There is this shop in my town eagle boot co. They repair anything leather.
