I'm tired of my four long boxes of comic books from my youth taking up closet space. I'm going to be selling them on eBay, as you do. I need your tips, tricks, and advice.

I finally found the bag to replace my old worn out one, but before I could pull the trigger Duluth stopped selling it. I wanted the postmasters tote
(link to old page) picture
one,
two,
three. Does anyone know a third party still carrying it or anywhere that has a similar bag. I really liked the space, and look with the fire-hose and leather materials. I have found one old e-bay sale and no hits on the Chicago area Craigslist. I know the Green does great with bags, please help.

I'm looking for a bag that may or may not exist: a stylish hip bag that won't make me look either like I'm wearing a waiter's apron or like I'm on my way to a Renaissance Faire.

I'm looking for sites where you've had a good experience buying second-hand (preowned, preloved, &c.) designer bags--purses, clutches, and so forth. I am out of my depth, personally.

How do I carry around all my stuff with grace and avoid looking stupid?
I carry around a lot of stuff everyday, and it's extremely annoying. People are always commenting about how I have "so many bags" but I really am not sure how to streamline my stuff.

What kind of bag is
this? If I had to ask whether a shop had one in stock, what would I ask for? I first thought "messenger bag", but google pics show another style. Maybe a subspecies of the same thing?

Do you know of any backpacks similar to the
Outlier Minimal backpack? Attributes in order of importance to me are are:
1) extreme light weight (the one from Outlier is paper-thin)
2) pocket-stuffable/foldable
3) sleek minimal modern anonymous look (like all of outlier's stuff)

I am looking for a messenger bag or backpack that will be good for bus/bike commuting in the rain, i.e. will keep my lunch, reading material, and spare clothing dry whilst I am getting soaked. I would also prefer it to be durable and green.

I was interested in growing vegetables in
mesh produce bags. It seems to be the ideal way to grow plants. Good drainage, good aeration and able to setup anywhere. Any downside to growing in mesh produce bags versus plastic buckets?

Big, light luggage or alternative? I'll probably move overseas, want to take the max weight in my (checked) bags, hope to have as little weight as possible glommed up by the bags themselves. I'm okay with something not likely to last a long time and cheap is good, though at the risk of stating the obvious, don't want something real vulnerable to tearing on the flight(s) over there. Thanks for any suggestions you can share.

I need to order custom-sized paper bags to be part of the packaging of shipments of bread. The bags need to be large — hence the need to go custom. I'm thinking 12" x 18", and expandable enough to fit a height of 4-5". Most bags I've seen have a flat bottom, but are gusseted to expand — that's what I imagine ordering.
Any recommendations on a place that could do this for me? NYC-specific would be great, but I'm willing to order from any company that can do it quickly and at an affordable price. We're talking orders in the 100s or 1000s, but most likely not in the 10,000s — at least to start. I'd need them to print a logo on the bags as well. They'd also need to keep in moisture and not get oily from the bread.

Look, I'm no genius, but it seems like you should be able to buy some sort of strap that can convert an existing messenger-style bag into one that can be worn more like a backpack. Right?

Does anyone know how to order Porter bags direct from Japan? There's some websites but seemingly none with English. I realize some U.S. retailers do sell them, but wondering if it's possible to buy directly.

I've fallen in love with
these bags, made in Colombia from used inner tubes. I love everything about them. I live in Austin and saw some recently at
this local import store. However, they only had a couple in stock, both of which I think were too small for my laptop, plus there are some styles in the catalog which I love more. The lady I spoke to at the store was unsure if they were planning an order soon, if ever again. Apparently the Cyclus website is currently being refurbed, so I don't think I can order directly from the manufacturer. I did find a couple of sites which carry them, but none were in the U.S. Anyone know how I can get one of these in the States? Thanks in advance!

Help me find this grocery bag using trash bin., or something similar, please. I StumbledUpon
this link and think it would be an awesome gift for my mother. She doesn't want to use reusable bags because she takes 8-10 empty aluminum cans to the recycle bin every morning along with a bag of cat poop/liter from cleaning the litter box. For convenience she uses two grocery bags a day for the job. If she's going to use bags I figured I may as well make it easy for her.
