    The owner is actually a member here.

    It might just be me, but I can never get the pictures to work.

    Regards

    I have the same issue with the pictures. Several items I clicked on opened a window that said "picture not yet available."

    Always wondered if this idea could
    work.

    I think the idea is sound, but I don't know if it is working in this instance. No pictures and often basic measurements are missing and we have to rely on the vendor's description of 'this is a really nice kilt'.

    I have never been tempted.

    Regards

    Same here. Never got the photos to show up. The idea was good, but the execution was awful.

    (I originally went there looking for MOD kilts, but found that most of them were civilian kilts. There are some good ones there, by the descriptions, but without pics I just ain't having it.)

    I found that "some" of the pictures work, most don't. Some of the used sporran pics I've gotten something from. Maybe only one or two kilts.

    Just reviewed the website. Amazed at the stock.

    Can't figure the very brief descriptions and the lack of pictures for most. The pictures there look like the kilts were just tossed on the floor or bed with no effort to straighten the pleats or to show the front side of the kilts.

    Ain't my business, its theirs...BUT...if I were running it I'd find a way to provide detailed measurements of all products, provide detailed description of the fabrics, and provide pics of all parts of all products and take a bit of time to straighten away the product I want to sell.

    Not sure where they buy their kilts. Couldn't find any information on what to do if I wanted to sell them one of my kilts. Maybe they don't buy from private parties. Guessing the overseas costs and customs roulette would preclude purchasing from any but local private parties.

    Hoping to see this business grow and improve the information available to their prospective customers. There for sure is a need for something other than the ebay offerings by folks who found or inherited a kilt.

    I bought a kilt from this web site. I was pleased with the kilt, and the service was extremely good. If you see a listing that interests you and want more information, send an email!
