Hi there.

As all know most of the Padawans here must go on a budget and so must i to afford everything i need. So my question is:
What is the most cheapest whip i can get? Remeber,I'm on a budget and also need money for the hat and the jacket.

Regards,
Railok

(And if there is any kind person that could think about donating a whip that they don't need anymore, Please contact me!)

The CHEAPEST way to get a whip might be to make your own out of stuff lying around the house. I recall somebody posted about a whip they made from a leather dog leash.

If you need something that looks Indy-esqe, then you might consider an Indy-on-a-budget bullwhip. They're $10 per foot, so you can order the whip to whatever length your budget will permit.

What's the maximum sum of money you might spend?

a six foot IOAB bullwhip is $60, though shipping might put that whip out of your budget, considering you're in Sweden.

Go for it, Railok! Adam's IOAB is great, and it has even improved even more detail wise from what I've heard. It will be worth saving up for it, a whip you can actually use and have fun with, with quality. Trust me. ;)

60 $ + 20 $ = 80 $ = Railoks gets a whip.

Great!

If you could spend an extra $20 for another 2 feet (8 total) I think you'd be even happier. It's got a better look when on your belt.

I'm 24 and I like my 22 footer, and I think it works out because I've always been told that I'm immature for my age :lol:

For length, I think 6 or 8 feet are both good choices. I suggested a 6 footer as it fits your budget.

Thanks Adams.
What do you take as payment besides Paypal?

Really though,

14 footers flow really nicely.

Hello!
Railok I think this winrich whip is good choice.
Cheapest whip I had seen was 8ft spanish bullwhip but it looks like stockwhip :lol: and price was 8 USD.1 dollar per foot.
Jesus!So cheap so bad....

Hey Indy Railok,

Maybe we could try Wells Fargo (I think they send money) or Western Union, though I'm sure there are fees associated with both. Perhaps some of your fellow Swedes and/or Europeans could give some helpful hints about sending money to the US.

Railok I can fully recommend paypal-payment. No fees, security, works great for me. All you have to do is opening a free account there, then send the money from your bank account to paypal (is it transfered to your paypal-account), then you can use it for payment.

I paid my WPG-MKVII and my Wested via Paypal (also some stuff on ebay.com) - great! All you need is an email-adress...

Railok - if you have a credit/debet card, go with PayPal. Otherwise, Western Union works fine, but they have a hefty transaction fee.
Maybe a direct bank-to-bank transfer would be the easiest way? That costs too, but not as much as WU...

I was thinking about that too, Most common here in Sweden from buying in Auction-sites like Tradera.se.
