    Welcome, from California!

    I'm not particularly cheap, but I do love a good deal. Of the 6 sporrans I own, only two were purchased new, and only one of those at full price (the simplest day sporran). If you're looking to expand your collection, I recommend the second-hand and vintage markets. Keep on eye on O.C. Richard's Quality Sporrans for Less Money thread - at least two of mine came from there. ;-)

    There are many types of sporrans that don't have that issue.

    For example, when you have braided leather tassels on a fur-fronted sporran the tassel-bouncing is silent or nearly so



    Hunting sporrans generally have these little tabs rather than tassels, they're attached and silent



    Hunting sporrans can be in black, and can have fur, making them a bit dressier



    And there are leather sporrans which simply don't have tassels
