Hello Everyone, I have postd a few things on the Yahoo page for the SCV Munch Group about how to find good products cheaply. I thought I would share with the TSR Members as well. So here is a re-post from the SCV Munch Grop. Hope you enjoy and it helps.        - M. Grey

Hello everyone. Master Grey here. Our Dear Mistress Ravensong has talked me into starting a series of article for the group. Starting with ths very post, and every now and then, after; I will write about how to find leather items on Ebay or sites with great discount prices or places to get hidden dungeon furniture. Or one of my favorite, finding "pervertable" item. Most of these thing will require a little DIY savy but most people can do the things and find the things that are needed.

So without anymore preamble or rambling let's get started. As some of you know I have a knack for finding deals on some of the things we use in our play. Like most of you I am looking to save a buck but still want to have a nice Toy Bag. I have spent quite a bit of time looking and searching and have come across a few great deals. Tonight I'd like to start off by talking about Clover Clamps. 

Those are the spring loaded clamps that tighten as you pull them. They are also know as Japanesse Clover Clamps or Japanesse Clamps. Either way Doms love them and sub, well secretly love them but still hate them. We've all seen them on various toy websites, they can range in price from $20 to $55 depending on who you get them from or the type of chain and finished used. Well, I'm here to tell you that you can get them for about $5 each all you have to do is connect them yourself with chain, cord or whatever you like, or even simpler leave them alone.

Oddly, enough you can go to Clover USA and get them. In the vanilla world they are used to hold a hem prior to sewing. They are know as Hem Bird Clips, part number 22-22-01. You can find them at:
http://www.shopatron.com/products/productdetail/part_number=22-22-01/181.0.22734.24353.0.0.0
or go to: http://www.clover-usa.com   and search the above part number.

They list for $4.75 Each. Shipping is very reasonable and very quick. They are located at: Clover 13438 Alondra Boulevard Cerritos, CA 90703 Phone: (800)233-1703. I don't know if they Will Call item or not.

Once you have them you can go to the local hardware or craftstore and pick up a few inches or feet of chain, get a couple of split rings rings (like the ones used for key rings) and connect them together. Or, go to a shoe shop or a Tandy leather store and get some leather or suede lace and connect them that way.

Play Safe and have fun.
