Quality Sporrans for less money

[kingandrew]

I am sure that the OP's purpose is to educate the members of this forum and to help them distinguish quality from otherwise when they search for a specific sort of kilt-related item. This is not a commercial message, although commercial images are being used to illustrate his points.

The Ebay photos and information will be part of the post long after the auctions referenced have ended. By giving concrete examples, OC Richard has helped the readers not only see and distinguish the details he find important, but has raised their awareness of the opportunity to acquire these items in a convenient, legal way.

We are now armed with information that will help us all when we do wish to find such a sporran.

As none of us is likely to be hoarding 100s of vintage sporrans to keep them out of circulation or artificially inflate prices, I see no harm. And since all these listings are temporary, any harm possible could only take place over the course of the past few days. Any real danger should be past now, or very soon.

One can look at the original listings to see if any "bidding wars" ensued from the post. My guess is they did not and this has been a safe and friendly sharing of information among like-minds hobbyists, rather than a for-profit attempt at guerrilla or ambush marketing.

Thank you to the OP for the education and to the Mods for seriously considering civility, rules, and goals of this forum.
