    I tried to find a website where I could buy Colin a sense of humor, but I failed.

    No need, mine's completely intact.

    The man was looking for a business write up to make a profit so that's what I reviewed. If he was looking for a thread title to review his product, the other ones were great, but you still have to try and appeal to all perspective buyers when placing the add. Some people live in close quarters to their neighbors (apratments, condos, townhouses), and that could be a real concern to them.

    I assume your write up was one of the one's I didn't suggest. If so, it wasn't a slight it was just a personal opinion of what I would have read seeing an ad on ebay.

    Untie the knots in your shorts. I do apologize, however, for neglecting to attach the smiley that would have indicated I was kidding.

    And The Winner(s) is/are

    We ended up selecting the winners based on 2 major ideas
    1. Description of the product
    2.Word flow and creating the desire BUY

    So The Winner of the custom 16 oz kilt is GREG LONG
    Second Place and a Rabbit Fur Sporran is Bob C.

    To those that were not selected, I am sorry. We may run another contest like this in a few weeks.

    A person may only win 1 prize every 6 months (insert other legal stuff here)

    Thanks for all the ideas and look forward to doing more of this as we grow the business

    the ad is posted here

    Unless of course you're allergic to rabbits.

    Seriously, congrats to the both of you.

    Very true. A rabbit paid dearly for that sporran.

    Look at the bright side - part of this rabbit will be preserved for many years and take an honored place on my formal kilt outfit.

    Many rabbits end up as coyote feces.

    Our Rabbits

    All our rabbit fur sporrans are made from old rabbits that lived a long and fruitful life and passed away quietly in their sleep {insert a bunch of legal verbage here}
