My first used Little Joe I got on Ebay over a year and a half ago. They were selling pretty high then and I think i got it for around $75, cant remember exactly- I love it and it was well worth it to me as these bags will last many years.
So I thought I would have to go through the Ebay grind again.
But before I haunted Ebay, on a pure whim I asked on the Rivendell owners listserve if anyone had one they wanted to sell (like yeah, right! no way). Lo and behold one guy in california wrote me that he was not using his. I asked him for photos, he had none and no camera. I told him I couldn't really send him money without seeing the condition it was in, and asked him the price. He then said (to my amazement) that he would ship it to me, and then I should just send him whatever I felt was a fair amount for it. Gulp.

So it arrived here without my sending him anything, it was beautiful with only minor scuffing. I offered him a little less than what I had paid for the Ebay bag, plus the shipping he had paid. He answered that that was too much and suggested a price that was I felt really TOO low , plus he wanted to see a picture of the bag on my bike when I was done. Then I picked a price in between and said Take it or Leave it. He answered "You drive a hard bargain, but ok." It was all too funny and too amazing and nice. What a great person!
So now I just got the bag mounted on my Luna and have to take a nice picture and email it to him.
Oh, also, a week later he found the little strap for the seat post (I hadn't yet noticed it was missing cause I hadn't put the bag on my bike yet) and mailed it to me separately.
Some people.
