    Well COOL!

    So I won this sporran on ebay for $27.50.



    I was looking for a semi dress and this spotted my eye for what I wanted. I asked the seller the origin, and he replied that it was indeed made in Scotland. I had no real idea of the value. Then I got a J. Higgins catalog in the mail and found the value to be $90, and other sites are selling it for over $100

    I love it when that happens.

    The seller was "masterpiper2006" with a green star rating of 456. One invalid non-delivery complaint and two unanswered in 12 months.

    He/she doesn't have anything for sale at the moment, but if I recall correctly he/she had other Highland related items that did not raise any flags like they were not authentic.
