    I think I gotta change my prices

    OK so I have a weird sense of humour.
    I just got a price list from a south Asian supplier. Not mine! I build my own stuff.
    What got me was their cargo kilts are almost twice the price of their 8 yard wool kilts.
    here's my copy and paste,
    Our Scottish Products Prces:-
    Men's Standard Scottish/Irish 8 Yards Kilt 16.50 USD
    Men's box Pleat/ Casual 4 Yards Kilt 14.50 USD
    Men's Embroidered Kilts 16.60 USD
    Men's Cargo, Modern and Utility Kilts 29.50 USD
    Ladies Scottish Kilted Skirt ,Mini skirt,Billie Skirt 10.50USD

    Maybe I should be charging more for mine, over an 8yd wool kilt......
    Just my weird sense of humour.

    Since I'm here. just for a laugh I'll post the cost of sporrans that are most popular on ebay.
    Day Wear Sporrans (Leather and Embossed) 9.10USD
    Full Dress Sporrans 11.10 USD
    Semi Dress Sporrans 10.30 USD
    Long Horse Hair Sporrans 59.10 USD
    Sporrans Scottish & Irish Traditional 9.60USD
    Sporrans Tartan with Leather Material 9.60USD
    Sporrans CamouFlag 9.60USD

    Of course one would have to factor bank transfer charges, shipping and brokerage.
    Consider this a W5 kinda post.
    Have a good chuckle

    Mods you can delete this if you wish
    Cheers

    It's from an email I get from Sailkot. This kind stuff arrives daily in my inbox. Most of the time I just delete it. The cargo kilt is very similar to ones marketed to companies on ebay selling for $60-$99.

    The CamouFlag sporran sounds interesting! Yeah, I get those emails every day as well. About once a week I get five in a row from some dude named Yaseem. I like to read them for a laugh!

    So they can make an 8-yard kilt for less than the price of 1 yard of fabric? I've heard of low overhead, but that's REALLY low overhead.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
