    The website that skauwt posted shows an Argyll and vest for only £139.99.

    Have you ever thought of grabbing a second-hand bargain?
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    i came across the persons ebay shop also and the feed back seem reasonable http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayIS...edbackAsSeller

    you think sellers would let folk know more about who they are and where they are stationed from rather than having to hunt the web for data on them.... if you do purchase it be mindful of the postal strike affecting parts of Britain

    Just as I thought. From one of their eBay sales:

    See other items
    Visit shop: The Wee Scottish Shop
    Registered as a Business Seller


    Other item info
    Item number: 260430635718
    Item location: Tipton, West Midlands, United Kingdom
    So, not Scottish at all.

    Regards

    Very interesting... Thanks for the research!

    On the whole, I'm not too fussy about the nationality of my vendor, but much more so about the quality of the merchandise, and their reputation for square dealing.
    The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.

    I don't think it is about nationality either. It is more about the fact that they are deliberately concealing their address and projecting a false image.

    By the way they are situated no more than 20 minutes drive from my mother's house in the Birmingham conurbation. It is very possible that they are a truly Scottish firm that re-located to the conurbation. Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Walsall and the lesser large towns all offer excellent deals on business rates (Corporate Property Taxes). They may well have taken advantage.

    Regards
