background info...
a while back i bought a new mclassic bag and wrist strap for an unusually good price. i bought on ebay from seth levine, he's the manufacturer and all round great guy.
the bag was my secondary interest as i really wanted another of his wrist straps.
anyway, the bag was way too pretty (black & tan) for me, i had the strap so i sold the bag to a member here.
i told my in town buddy of this deal and he was a little miffed that i had not thought of him when selling a new custom made bag at a great price.
i should have thought...
shoot ahead a month or so and my buddy says he wants to buy a bag like mine (i already had an all black mclassic bag) and would i send him the web address? sure i said, but i went one further and emailed seth to see if he had any more good deals on bags.
seth offered 2 deals, he had an old scruffy bag that he took in as a trade from a good customer or he would look around for any bags that had cosmetic blemishes or were irregular in some way but perfectly functional.
my buddy opted for new and ordered one.
i took the trade in as i always want a deal.
seth also found another wrist strap for me.
when it came time to tally, seth says how about 40 bucks for both scruffy bag and strap? i jump at it.
the first strap i bought was 37 bucks alone.
so, yesterday, there's a parcel waiting at the front door for me.
i waited till after dinner to open it cause it was scruffy and i was in no hurry.
well, damn if the bag is not new and so is the strap!!
fearing a big mistake was made i emailed seth.
he says the bag was in better shape then he had remembered, it had been to asia and back etc. but was considered used/new old stock whatever.
anyway, it's now gonna be my regular camera bag and my old mclassic bag is now my daily camera bag/work bag.
life is good sometimes...
and seth levine is a great guy!!
i love the bags, perfect for rf cameras.
