UPDATE: RESERVE PRICE MET SO BID AWAY!!!

LowePro Computrekker AW

Brand new. I won it at a raffle and I don't have a use for it as I already have another bag that I am happy with.

It's like new in the original bag it came in... never been used... with all tags.

Get it while it's hot!

Read a review here.

Thanks for looking,
Lee

I'M GONNA WIN IT!!!

Anyway, yeah it's an awesome pack...I have the mini AW -- I think they're the same exact size, but mine doesn't have a place for the laptop.

Get it while it's hot?? You mean it's free? If so I'll take it. :-)

bump...

here's how full you can pack it if need be, courtesy of our own, FM's, and sportshooter's PShizzy! (Oh, and you gotta add a compartment for the laptop too.....)

Am I correct in assuming the mini and the Compu are the same size? I don't want to downgrade your product?

oh I wouldn't recommend packing yours like that though hahah

why is it when Americans put something on ebay it's always "ship to USA only" but when people from any other country put something on ebay it's "ship to worldwide"

it's like you americans think you are alone in the world, or the only people with money....

we do have paypal accounts in Iceland, and we ARE richer than you Americans !

so why not offer your products worldwide, buyer pays shipping so it really dosn't matter where you ship it, you just got 5.600.000.000. more potential buyers.

the only thing is to exclude those few countries known for their ebay scams.

Don't assume that every time every American puts something on ebay it's always ship to USA only...he's entitled to sell that to whoever he wants and restrict bids to whatever continent he wants.

oh...and assuming that 'people in Iceland' are richer than we Americans is a general statement and it's wrong...I'm sure there are plenty of rich people in Iceland and plenty of rich people in America.

shipping outside teh US -- I am sure many limit it because it seems that the prices are outrageous. I guess it is like that from other countries as well, but I'm not sure.

VAT and Import Duty apply to (new) goods shipped from the US to Europe. Some sellers probably don't want the hassle of going through all that with buyers from Europe.

There's also the risk that the further you have to send something, the more likely it is to get lost.

Shipping out of the US is a much bigger hassle & many do not want to deal with it. Extra paperwork, unforseen costs to the customer over the boarder that they may opt not to pay & then it's returned.
Personal experience: I had a package circle Canada for over a month before it got back here & it was the fault of the postal service on the canadian side, yet I had to PAY AGAIN to have it reshipped.

Too much hassle & too much cost to make it worth it for many.

my post might seem a bit harsh, but it's a fact that it's only americans that sell stuff on ebay and only ship to local addresses (same country), over 90% of all other ebay auctions are worldwide shipping.

as for the paperwork, it's one small piece of paper you have to fill out, stating what's in the parcel, and the value you want to declare. takes less than one minute, the taxforms are made in the recipients country by the local customs, and we that frequently buy from usa know that shippincost is high, we have to pay customs and so on.. we know this and accept it, because even with the extra cost and custom, the item we're buying is still cheaper than in a local store, that's why we buy so much from usa.

Icelandic photographers buy from B&H for close to $1.000.000 every year, I buy from B&H for about $5.000 every year, so we know what to expect when buying items on ebay or anywhere online.

as for having the item sent back, than that's bull.. you get paid through paypal before shipping, so you got your payment, it's just a bonus if you get your item back ;)

My response to this is so what? If a seller wants to limit their potential buying audience, that's really their problem, isn't it? You still have 90% of all the other ebay auctions to buy from.
