The sporran has a silver plated cantle and is worth about $250-$300 in it's present condition. If you are one of the lucky dozen or so people who have as their crest a demi-lion holding in it's dexter paw a mullet, then it might be worth a bit of a premium, say something around 10%.
The seller is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over optimistic as to value.

Again, we are indebted to you, MoR. You are a veritable font of useful knowledge.

Do you mind if I share this with my wife? She seems to hold a contrary opinion...

I don't know if you guys ever saw an iconic Australian film called "The Castle"
where the head of the family was an avid Trading Post (a newspaper version of ebay) scrounger, whose favourite saying when hearing the price of an object he favoured was "Tell him he's dreaming"
Seems pretty apt for this seller

You are welcome to do so, but I'm not sure of the mileage you will get from it

Good call!
I've not seen it, but it sounds dead on in this case.
