    Did I get a Sporran Deal Here?

    Did I get a deal on this Sporran? I only had to pay 30 GBP with shipping to the US.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8276649992

    The two sporrans I have are black leather and wanted the white rabbit. I really don't care if it's faux or real for the price but they advertise it as Rabbit fur. I also realize that they added that it was an import so I assume Pakistani or something.

    I already made the plunge - just wondering if some of the experts here think it was worth it?

    Without actually being able to see the item, it's hard to make a determination.

    My initial reaction is that you did just fine. Please give us a review when it arrives.

    I've got a white rabbit sporran. I think I'd like a gray one. If you're happy with that vendor, I might buy one from him.

    The price is great, but I'm worried about this:
    please note the prodcut we sell is indentical to above sporran but without the moitif we feel it looks better without
    This is a business with a couple hundred items on eBay, and they couldn't be bothered to take a picture of their own product?

    Good point.

    Fuzzy pictures, or fuzzy sporrans?

    I wouldn't want a plain leather sporran with a formal outfit. A agree that the sporran in the pic would look better without the thistle, and I agree with Iolaus that they should have taken the time to photograph it.

    Ah, the 'fuzzy' sporrans...

    I have nothing against fur (I will own one someday), just don't like the ones that look 'bushy'...

    I would imagine these are Pakistani in origin??
