Kilt #4 from Ebay
So I was browsing Ebay last Wednesday and I noticed this wool kilt starting at $55 w/ one bid. It was my exact size, well 1/2" shorter than usual, but that's easy. A 5 yard 11oz. wool (a good summer weight) from Lochcarron of Scotland in the St. Patricks tartan. So I decided to "watch" it as there was 9 hours left on it. I really had no intentions on purchasing a new kilt, nor did I expect to win it. I just figured w/ such a low bid and very little time left, that I'd come up with a number, if it goes past that, then oh well, no biggie. While watching a movie w/ the wife....1 hour left, still $55, so I decide to pull the last minute bid if it doesn't skyrocket (as they usually do). So I pick a number from me bum, hits 30 seconds.....BAM! I win it for $75, not bad for the exact kilt selling in Celtic Croft for $375! WOWSERS! So I got it in the mail today, wow, near mint, the only thing I notice is a small pull from the kilt pin.

Congratulations on the new kilt.

Great looking kilt ... you wear it well.

it seems that there can be good kilts on ebay if you look hard enough.
