    Heids up- very cheap vintage kilts and jackets online

    I was in the West End of Glasgow today, on my way to Otago St, when I looked in at the Glasgow Vintage shop on the Great Western Road. They have a load of vintage kilts and jackets for sale, some of them are online now at around £15 Buy It Now, which is pretty good for a heavyweight vintage kilt.
    Scroll through their 3 Ebay pages and you'll see their current sale items.

    I don't have any connection with this shop, first time I've been in it, but thought some of you with a 30 - 32" waist might appreciate a bargain.

    Very cool!

    Too bad most of the kilts have very small waist sizes... 22" to 28". They have one 40" kilt but I suspect a possible Pakistani origin on that one.

    Hmm they have one jacket that just might fit me, but I suspect it might be just a tad short. Going to have to take some measurements and sleep on it to decide if it's worth the gamble. Naturally, it might be gone tomorrow, but I'll just take that as a sign if it is.

    I purchase a bit from ebay Martin, the way I avoid all of the silliness is to bid the maximum amount that I am willing to pay and let it go. If I win, then I paid a price I am comfortable with, if I don't win it then it was no more of a loss than if it were listed too high for me at the beginning and I walked away without considering it. That takes all of the anx out of the process for me!

    Best of luck

    yeah, but I ALWAYS seem to be out bid so only go for 'BIN' offers unless its something so obscure that no-one else woudl ever want to bid on it.
