alright guys, so i have planned to purchase a new strop strictly 3" wide. I have 2 options

1) my first option are strops from srd. i just love all of them! particularly the red latigo strop with leatther handle ($64.99) which i have practically fallen in love with.. i also find that the prices for such quality products are excellent. sadly the shipping costs are just too high (another $49.50) which really makes me want to consider the purchase.

2) i have come to like the 3" big daddy burgundy english bridle which i have found on ebay for $37.99 being sold by starshavingsupplies and an extra of $8.95 for shipping.

so what are your thoughts on the big daddy? is $38 for a 3" wide leather strop too good to be true? is there a catch to it? i really like it and i think if i am unable to purchase strops from srd (particularly the red latigo) the big daddy is a suitable candidate for a good strop. but that is really just what i think and my thoughts are really based on very crude instincts and observation. i would really appreciate guidance regarding the matter .

Hal.
