That's not to say that a higher price is inherantly better quality,
I disagree on the first part and agree with you on the second. Quality does NOT have to be expensive. Some have convinced themselves of it over time. In spite of the soaring price of many sporrans, you can get a good quality sporran for less than what most people would think.

It almost reminds me of when I got my kilt SHO. I was told that if someone has a similar product, but with better features and less money, than it MUST be a bad kilt. I was told there was no way someone could make something for less and still have good quality. Well, who knew I could get a top knotch, custom made 8 yard kilt + flashes for only 189. I believe the same is true for sporrans.
