Price? Reduced from: £2,950.00 NOW £2,479.00 (US$4,056 - Can$4,195 - AU$4,400 - €2,723 - XE.com's your friend)

I'd love to have one of these but short of a lottery win, it's a bit out of my bracket. Thought members might be interested and someone here might be able to afford one. If anyone does get one, please review it.

Please understand I'm not trying to take the Mickey. As MoR said.

What this is is a giant rip off. Silver is under $20US an ounce ($17.38/ounce as this is written) and there isn't much over 6-8 ounces silver in the cantle and bells. That's less than US $150 worth of silver. Add a more than generous US$50 for the machine engraving and subtract that amount (US$200) from the advertised cost of the sporran and you are left with a mink sporran selling for US$3,856-- about 10X it's retail value.

You don't have to be rich to buy this sporran, just stupid.
