Cake stand ... have spent too much or was it reasonable?

I've been looking at cake stands, some of them are sooooo expensive :eek: even hiring seemed rather expensive in my local area and a real pain in the backside!!

We are having two sqaure cakes, larger fruit and smaller sponge and I wanted to have them at different levels.

So I bought these ... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140497155694&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I'm trying to persuade myself they will get used again (singularly or in plural) at parties etc and I would be happy to lend out to family/friends etc.

Essentially it's bits of acrylic ... have I just spent too much on them? :o

    Thanks for the reassurance, spent ages looking at various ones and loved some of them but was wondering how I could/would ever use them again.

    I make a lot of cakes and I usually buy the cake stands on ebay then resell them after the event as I don't have space to store them. I haven't once made a loss on one, so you can always resell them. :) cel x
