Quality Sporrans for less money

[Dunbar]

The casual forum members and people who happen upon the forum are, in my opinion, just as much part of our community as anyone else, and are perhaps the people who will most be helped by the information about how to wisely shop for used kit.



Your point is well taken and I mulled over the ethics of it before I started this thread. In the end I decided that, for me, the most important thing is to share information and give guidance.

If I didn't make it clear earlier (perhaps I did not) I have no connexion with any of these Ebay sellers and my purpose is not to promote or endorse those people. However I think the clearest way to show people what to look for is to use concrete examples.

My philosophy is that Ebay is public information, and everyone should have just as much access to what's available there as they should have to the under-the-radar restaurant you mention. If I find a great restaurant I'll tell anybody who will listen! I want my friends to have wonderful meals and I want the restaurant to thrive.

Another point is, how many vintage sporrans does any one person need? I pointed out 20 or so items; surely there's enough to go around. If, on the other hand, somebody's intention is not to get a sporran for their own use, but to snap up every bargain they can find and then flip them for a profit, I feel no pangs of remorse.

I appreciate this thread. I have been a member of X for less than a year and am educating myself be reading. I'm not ready to invest in the Sporrans that I want to keep for life. I also do not like the look of the cheap ones. I picked up one of the former 'hire' sporrans in the OP and will use it until I learn enough. I am good at getting what I want on eBay and when the time is right I will be in the hunt. Your concrete examples do help!
