    Sporran on Ebay

    I saw this sporran on ebay and thought it looked pretty nice. Do you think it is a decent deal for $57.00 USD delivered from Edinburgh?


    Sorry, Image is in my Gallery.

    I'm experimenting w/ ebay sporran buying right now as well. Hopefully it should be a positive experience. I need a day sporran, and I figure that if I am to pay less than $30, it's a steal.

    That's a fine looking sporran. Is there another auction that isn't closed?

    Experience is always a great help with these things.

    Ebay CAN have a load of great looking pictures and great prices. What you get may be cardboard and tassles however.

    The two BEST sporrans for the money that I have personally seen are:

    1). The "Freelander" Sporrans. Original, well-made, beautiful, comfortable, and quite useful. The antler pieces are a great conversation starter, while the style goes well with traditional kilts, casual kilts, and Renn Faire garb.

    2). Buzz Kidder sporrans. If you hit his site at www.buzzkidder.com you'll be able to chose from a nice variety of styles and colors. They're well made, nice to look at, and won't break the bank.

    The others look okay, but you're guaranteed quality and a fair deal with the two above.

    Don't waste your hard-earned money on anything that won't take a beating.
    Arise. Kill. Eat.
