The VAST majority of sporrans on the US eBay site are decorative accessories only. They are made in Pakistan using very thin, low quality leather backed with cardboard, and machine stitched. In many cases you don't even 'get what you pay for' in that regard, as a single day's wear has been known to be too much for the paper thin gussets. Quality is expensive, sorry. My cheapest sporran is $100 for a basic leather day sporran, and when it comes right down to it, I'm not exactly making a huge profit on that. Quality costs from top to bottom. I pay more for better quality leathers for fronts, backs and gussets, and it has to get passed along.

That's not to say that a higher price is inherantly better quality, especially when it comes to eBay. I've seen the same ****-rabbits sell for $100, at which price you're nearing a comparable Scottish-made one with 10 times the quality.
