I'm also a Gingher fan! I have several pairs of different styles of Gingher scissors. I got some great deals on ebay--you just have to watch for a good price. I bought all of mine from there, and got most them for about a third of the price I would have paid locally, even on sale. All of them I got were new in the package. It takes patience to find good deals like that, but it really paid off. :-D
