They are mega money and it does seem difficult to understand why, they're not a safety critical item afterall.

I would really like some nice ali spurs, but I have a set of steel ones with leather straps & pads which I paid 90 quid for from a guy selling them on eBay in Leominster.

I believe the 'brand' is 'Arbtechnish' if that means anything at all...?!

They are perfectly functional and serviceable spurs, but they won't win and kit bag bling contests!

i paid £50 for an almost new on ebay, get hunting :biggrin:

 

£50 are you sure! I sold a pair of my dads bashlins that where 16 yrs old and advertised as that. All I done was clean them up and they sold for £140 and had 18 bids.

£50 is for nothing I have never seen them go for that kind of money.
