Greetings,

Just before Christmas, I purchased what appeared to me to be a great used traditional kilt in Mackenzie tartan from a seller in the UK, on that certain auction website.

It was listed as used, at an attractive price, and the seller pictured a small-ish (3/4in) hole along the edge of one of the pleats, with no other damage listed. I had communicated well with the seller, and was pleased with the deal...It just arrived a few minutes ago, and I'm pretty sad now.

Here are some pictures:

The third picture shows the smallish hole the seller told me about. Imagine my suprise when I opened the package and laid this kilt out for a first look, and found the gaping wound in #4 on the inner apron.
There are also a dozen or more small 1/8"> moth holes in other spots as well.

I just sent a message to the seller complaining about the condition of this kilt, Hopefully I can get a bit of money back, since it was listed as no returns, and I had to bargain a bit to get the seller to ship it to the United States in the first place.


Please, give me some opinions...Is this kilt too far gone? its a terrible shame, because it is a wonderful garment otherwise...sigh.
sometimes you get what you pay for.
