Default Second hand fans?

I've just developed an interest in fan dancing thanks to a rather fun class last night. I know of a few people and sites that sell new fans but I'm just looking for a second-hand pair to practice with before I go blowing all my pocket money on a posh pair.

Any suggestions (I've already tried Ebay)

Thanks!

I'm upgrading my pink ones and selling the old pair on in a few weeks. I have another girl interested in buying them but if that falls through I could let you know, if you fancy it?

Ooh thank you, I know how much a new pair'd cost me from Ostrich!

I got a pair for £80 last week - or is that too much?

It's incredibly cheap - and I think I know where you got them from because I did too ^_^

Won't get them for another couple of weeks yet - only ordered them last week. Can't wait though - they look to be much better quality than my current pair which cost me £20 more!

I believe Millie Dollar sells bespoke, brand new feather fans for £80. I think this is about as cheap as brand new fans come! I can't find an online portfolio of her work, but I know she's made fans for performers such as Diva Hollywood and Cherry DeVille.

I occasionally make pairs for people at £125 a pair, but will probably stop making them soon...

When you're ready for an investment pair, Miss Diamond Blush and Chocolat make high quality bespoke feather fans. You'd not believe the difference in quality between budget and top-end ostrich plumes!

You might also be interested in Chocolat's class on making your own feather fans. This is taking place on Sunday 3rd August: http://vonbourbon.com/blog/?p=755
