[MacMillans son]

And now RedShanks is offering FREE HOSE. So, who is next?

I holding out hope it's that guy in Georgia who makes those cool belt buckles

I like that guy. He's crazy.

...and his buckles are some of the most unique pieces of fine metalwork that I've ever seen, too.

But back on topic- Aye, especially in these trying times, giving away products makes quite a statement.

In response to Tyger's opening statement, Yes times are hard, the economy is very slow in picking up, and we as vendors have been hit by these effects, but so has the customer, we are all aware of this.

Each month I pay to the forum owners a reasonable fee to advertise on this site, and every month for the past 2 years xmarks has placed in the top 2 refering sources to my website, which means I get a high volume of sales via this forum, I just figured that I give to the owner of the forum and take from it's members each and every month, so it would be good to give something back to the forum members by way of a free prize each month, now if others want to participate perhaps we could set up a monthly competition, a different vendor each month, the prize doesn't have to be of vast value, just kilt related.

I see this as a good thing for the forum, for the forum members and it also makes the vendors presence on the forum a valuable one

Just my opinion

What do you think ?

Well thought and said, Chris. Truly a noble and generous act.
