An Entry from the Archives

NOTE: Someone has taken the offer. I've sold the bag.

My backpack wore out, so I got myself a Crumpler bag I'd been admiring. It's quite admirable, but you wear it over your shoulder, and I carry too much stuff, plus I have a bad back ("Bad back! Bad!"). It aggravated my back. So, I'm selling the bag.

It's a Crumpler Part and Parcel bag. Crumpler's site is so hip that it's unusable. (That site seems to be down at the moment. Try the original Australian site. Hmm, I'm not getting to that one either. Here's the description at the Palm store.) Plus, Crumpler keeps changing the names of its bags, so it's hard to figure out which is what when. The Part and Parcel is at the higher end of their offerings. It's well padded and this particular one will hold a 15" computer (although apparently not all 15" computers).

I found it hard to find information about the interior of the beast, so here are some photos showing the zippage:

I had the bag for one week. So it looks like how a new bag will look one week after you bought it. Crumpler bags are very well made.

The price at most online stores is pretty consistently $145.00 (sans shipping). I bought it new at eBay for $106.43 + $9.50. Because I'd rather sell it to someone I know than to a stranger at eBay, I'll sell it for US$65.00 + $9.50 shipping to the first person who sends me an email (selfevident.com). This offer is only good for shipping to addresses in the US. And it's only good until tomorrow. After that, it goes up on eBay.
