    anyone ever dealt with replicaters.com?

    found these guys on the internet..
    http://www.replicaters.com/pipeband.html

    alot of the images on their website are "borrowed" from well known stores in Scotland. has anyone ever dealt with them? the prices seem to good to be true!! ex:

    "The Braemar jacket and vest are made in 100% wool, black barathea fabric. The Argyle (Argyll) jacket is lined, has single button front, flat eppaulettes, French cuffs with 3 buttons, and pocket flaps with 3 buttons. The vest too is made in black barathea and has 5 buttons. Price including custom tailoring and door delivery is US$ 164. Vest is extra at US$ 83 if ordered alone or only US$ 74 if ordered with the Charlie jacket."
    then an image "borrowed" from the http://scotwebstore.com/

    tailored 100% barathea wool braemar for $164 delivered?
    seems unreal, so i am suspect. if anyone has ever dealt with them , can you comment on quality, workmanship, authenticity or speed?

    thanks,

    Prices too good to be true...

    Borrowed photos.....

    That's two red flags right there.

    Remember, you can have any two (or less) of price, quality, or service.

    They claim to supply What Price Glory, which, it seems to me, would be easy enough to check up on.

    Researching their contact email addresses led me into a maze of name servers. The information I found, coupled with the unbelievable prices, makes me think that I would not trust this organization for online purchases.

    The Website looks thrown together, not organized, bad links, really not appealing in any way. Far too much information given in some areas, and not enough where it needs to be!

    They say they supply Sgt. Bilko Trading in Canada. I bought a brown sporran from Bilko a while back and I'm very happy with it. I see one like it on the Replicater website.
