We’ve chatted before (here) about the Polo stores in South Africa having nothing to do with Ralph Lauren, and the fact that the embroidered pony goes the wrong way. If you’re happy with that, fine. But if you want the real deal, this is where you get it.

I tried shopping on eBay a few years ago and realised it was close to impossible because A) hardly any of the sellers shipped to South Africa, and B) the packages would never get to me, because customs would stop it and not let me know, or the post office would lose it.

But now that’s all changed for reasons we will explain in a bit.

But first – check out these outrageous prices. The nature of eBay is that you’ll always get a deal because the sellers buy their stock in bulk.

What makes this all even more amusing is some of the prices below have been discounted from their original price, which was already a steal. Original Ralph Lauren golf shirts like these usually sell from around R1 200 each overseas.

Even more hilarious is the fact that these prices are even less than the POLO South Africa shirts (here), which aren’t Ralph Lauren.

And it’s not just the guys who score – ladies, we’ve got you covered as well HERE!
