It's always best to shop around and check prices. You can always find something at a much cheaper price somewhere else. One Scottish store has a particular sporran for sale at $700.00 that is sold at another Scottish store for $450.00, I asked the store owner if his price was a mistake but he never answered me, I consider that very snooty and therefore I will not deal with him.

I think that everyone could find some kind of problem with their local Scottish shop if they look hard enough. We have one here in Long Beach, California that just can't seem to get it right 100% of the time but I don't think they're trying since they know that they're the only one within a stone's throw of Los Angeles.

The good thing about it is that I don't have to frequent it and I don't anymore because of longer than promised wait periods and snooty salespeople. I even tell others to be careful when dealing with any stores that I have had bad experiences with and I doubt that I'm not alone. Perhaps these store keepers don't realize that they lose so much by word of mouth?
