A short note of support OC Richard. I found your advice extremely helpful and valuable. I read your posts with interest, and always learn something. This thread gave me the confidence to know what I am looking for in the great and wild jungle that is Ebay, and I will certainly keep my eyes open for that interesting sporran.
I completely respect Steve's view and rules, and obviously the forum benefits from those rules, lest we descend into chaos (as many forums do).
Might I suggest that you continue to highlight interesting sporrans that you find out there in the big wide world marketplace, but refrain from posting until after the sale has concluded, or perhaps de-identify the seller or the marketplace (ie just show the photos). That might be within the rules whilst also allowing you to guide your very ignorant students who greatly benefit from your knowledge and experience.
Just a thought.
Kind regards,
John
