A question for Panache,

I found my dress sporran on ebay for $30 delivered. Yes, it's made in Pakistan but it looks as good as any other out there. I will wear it once or twice a year probably so to spend more than $50 would have been a waste to me.

This search on ebay turns up several reasonable sporrans

and even

depending on the style you are looking for. For most of us there is just no need to pay a lot for a dress sporran.

My brother and I received sporrans for christmas that were bought on ebay also, and as far as I can tell theres absolutely nothing wrong with them. Ebay like anything else can be very good or very bad, for some reason ebay has gotten the reputation that anything kilt related being sold on it is bad. This simply isn't true.
true there are bad products but with some investigation and some common sense you can spot the fakes and get yourself an exelent good qaulity dress sporran for $30

Yes, there are some good kilt-related things for sale on eBay, but I would guess only one in 50 to 100 of those advertised. The vast majority is over-priced, poorly manufactured junk that can be bought directly from Pakistan much cheaper. If you have the couple of hours a day needed to separate the drek from the good stuff, go for it.

Sad but true.
