I can’t agree. All the ebay listings are public and could be found by anyone. I appreciate OC Richard taking the time to share a good deal with the community here.
I’ve been on other forums that have a “deals” section where members can help each other out with restrictions on listing things the member is selling themselves.
So long as it’s not just puppet accounts advertising for a business, it seems like a good way to help each other in the community. If we had one here, it’s be a good way to help people find deals on items that are not kilt specific too (say macys has a good deal on wingtips or something).
As for ebay, just because you got scooped on a sporran doesn’t mean you can’t still buy it. If you really want it, just bid higher.
