• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The Ultimate Christmas Farkle

From Russia with love. I think I would pass--to many crooks over there. :roflblack::roflblack:

It says hand made and made to order. If true, very labor intensive. As an oldtime leather worker the process is worked out from behind, the leather is pushed out and then filled before putting a liner on the work to hold everything in. They used to use a mixture of sawdust and rubber cement for the fill.

$1,700 may be in the ballpark if they are trying to get all their hours covered on the labor.

If it is a "knock off" as in machine embossed and using cheesy leather--then the "fix" is in. I would want to buy the item in person rather than mail ordering from the comrade in Russia.

To much money to get taken for a ride. :thumbup:

I took an additional look at the wallets. The stuff is beautiful but the magic word "embossed" appears. Not hand tooled, but pressed in from a plate on a machine. The dye jobs look pretty good. Machine sewed--not hand stitched. Way over priced. The Mexican stuff of the same variety is a better buy.
