What a better way of saying this?
Okay what are better words than "pretty sure"?
Like I'm pretty sure that shirt was blue.
(That's not the actual context but you get the idea...)
Trying to sound more professional on a flyer.
It's the sizing for a saddle I have for sale, I'm pretty sure (lol) I know the size (not inches, but shape) it is, but not 100% positive, so not trying to sound super professional, and it's not definitely...
you know what, since it's not the most important part, i just decided to leave it off and tell if anyone asks.
thanks! :)

As it is an ad, I think it will be a better idea to leave any indications of uncertainties. If you have an idea of what category it belongs to, you could say "belonging to the ........... shape or in the .......... size band". That may leave the scope open for all prospective buyers to inquire more and will not rule out the possibility of enquiries due to unclear sales pitch or unmatched size, particularly as you are not sure.

Fairly certain.
Reasonably confidant.
It just IS! :-)
Right or wrong, it is what it is.
That's the way it is.
Skip the cliches, especially, to tell you the truth, to be honest, frankly, just go with the solid and simple. Any extra wordiness tends to weaken what you have to say.
So really, instead of saying pretty sure, say you are sure. Rather than fairly certain, it is better to say certain. And so on.
