What's your best recent deal?

[turpin]

I am certainly willing to pay full retail for something I specifically want, like my Isle of Skye by Barb T, or my (nearly there) Gordon Weathered by Matt Newsome.

However, I am always looking for the best balance of price and quality. Some of us are willing to step into the great unknown to try to find this balance and risk a bid on Ebay against the possibility that the item won't fit, or otherwise live up to its billing.

So share with the rest of us what you consider to be the best buy or 2 that you have made. It doesn't have to be Ebay - it could be anything, but to the extent privacy allows, share your source and the price, along with a few details so that others can see where deals are to be had.

Most recent for me are a 16 oz Lochcarron in the Davidson tartan, purchased for $107.50 on Ebay. After moving straps and buckles, it fits like a glove, although I could wish for an extra 1/2-3/4 inch in length.


Second was my biggest coup on a retail price to price-paid basis. This is a dress sgian dubh with a faux smokey quartz stone by Celtic Art Ltd. of Glasgow. Retail is $200. Price paid, $16.95
