I'd like to, but my source of income (i.e. my parents) have put a moratorium on any further expenditures for some reason (I think it was "spending us out of house and home on kilt stuff!" or something like that), until I get a job.

It's a beautiful design and I thank Steve for taking the time and effort to provide us with this unique item. However, I must be honest, I feel the price is a bit high.

Cool,

One for me.

You folks rock.

Kevin.

I'm glad someone brought up the issue of the price of the pins.

Please remember that the cost of shipping is included in the price of the pin.
We are also not marking up the cost and no one is making a profit from this.
I am charging a 10% fee for doing all the ordering, taking the money, and then shipping the pins to the rabble. The rest of the price is to cover the R&D and tooling to make a custom badge.

But just for a comparison I did a google search for other clan crest badges and here are just the first few.

Scottish Lion = $27.00usd + shipping
Border Art = $53.65usd + shipping
Houston Kiltmakers = $29.80usd
British Heritage = $22.00usd + shipping
USA Kilts = $25.00usd
Scottish Croft = $29.95usd + shipping
Highland House = $39.60usd + shipping
St. Kilda = $16.42usd + shipping
Scotch Corner = $27.82usd
Freedom Kilts = $25.61usd + shipping

Quite an eye opener isn't it.

You beat me to it. I was just gathering the same sort of price comparison.

So, yeah, the price is right in line with comparable products.

I'll take one, Steve. I can even save you having to mail it

Count me in! It's my birthday gift to myself. I always get a little cash then, ( I don't need another religious item, my house looks like a church supply store as it is!)

**Steeplechase** · 2nd April 08, 06:29 PM

Thanks for the hard work Steve. Count me for one.

Steve,
You should have had a check box for more than one.
I am checked for one, but wish to buy four (4).
Thank you for your efforts on the Badge, and for your continuing support of the X-Marks web site.
