    Sell or not?

    Got a couple of nice vintage pieces I am agonising over whether or not to keep:

    Mods, this is not an advert for sale, just trying to resolve the dilemma. If I decide to sell on here, I will of course, go to the appropriate place.

    KiltFitz,
    If you do decide to part with the sporran, I would be very interested.

    I can see your dilema, the sporran and sgian are nice pieces.
    I may be interested in the sgian if you do decide to clear your wardrobe...

    KF if they have no sentimental attachment and are just gathering dust in a drawer and if you arent going to wear them then my advice is to sell them and let someone else enjoy them. They were made to be worn and to serve a purpose. Would be a shame to keep that sporran from public view.

    However if any of the above are applicable then keep them.

    Grizzly said it. If its a gift or inheritance then yes keep them if not I am sure they will find good homes.

    I couldn't agree more, Simon. If you do choose to sell, I'm sure your items will indeed sell rather quickly.

    Cheers,

    P.S. - I'd definitely keep the sporran.

    ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ this!

    With the current uncertainty about seal skin, and it's future sales, I'd keep it. It would be a pity to have seller's remorse and be unable to replace it.

    Of course if you really don't care for it, it would be better to sell it off and let someone else enjoy it.

    Argh! I am no further forward. While I realise it is quite a rare item and I really like it, I have another couple of fur sporrans and few formal engagements to alternate them at. My GF says I can't get rid of the one she had repaired after it was damaged in a Paris mugging (it literally saved my life). Thanks for the thought, keep them coming.

    I have never heard of a sporran saving someone's life...until now! That is wonderful, mate and your girlfriend is right, you must keep that sentimental piece of Highland kit. If you are keen to sell the seal skin, dress sporran shown above...you know where to find me.

    Best of luck!

    KF if you aren't sure, keep the sporran but loan it out, I am sure it would happily have a holiday somewhere warmer than Glasgow, say down Southampton way. It would still be yours and I would of course inform everyone that it belongs to you. . Problem solved!
