If this is the one I'm thinking, from his "special items" line, you could try calling the boutiques and have them mail you one. IIRC, the price was fairly low (less than $100) and even with shipping would still be reasonable.

No doubt the NYC or LA boutiques might be sold out, but if you try some of the newer/smaller boutiques (they've also got one in Florida and one in Savannah, GA), they might have some left.

Just a thought...

Yes... look on MJ's website... there are boutiques in many places other than NYC (GA, FL, MA, etc.) Contact info can be found there as well.

It's doubtful, to tell the truth. They were fairly limited in production and, to be honest, MJ isn't one of the most beloved brands around here.

Anyway, good luck on your hunt. Ebay is probably going to be the best place to find one. There are TONS of MJ items on there.

If you look around our forum, you'll see that the lack of replies you've no doubt had here are probably less due to the fact that nobody wants to sell their rucksack as probably very few people actually bought one. I've already mentioned the standard channels to find the bag, but more than likely you're just going to be out of luck in that the bag hasn't even been produced for two seasons. You probably just missed the boat unless you keep looking on ebay. As well, if someone does have one, the chances of them letting it go for what you're looking to pay are probably slim.

I don't know much about how MJ appreciates, but when looking for a limited run item from 2 years back, $100 probably isn't going to get you very far.

Geesh... what a productive, helpful member you're turning out to be. I was actually considering placing a call to a friend of mine who works for MJ to see if he could find this bag for you until you decided to throw a little tantrum and act like a spoiled brat. I have no idea who offered to sell you the bag for $150... but if you felt the price was high, you could just be a stand-up guy and say, "No thanks, that's a little more than I was looking to spend."

Anyway, have you seen these bags in person? They really aren't anything to write home about... I really like MJ stuff and when I saw these in the Savannah store was pretty underwhelmed. For all your searching and hounding people about this bag, are you sure you won't be dissapointed if/when you find it, especially if you spend twice what the retail was?

Edit: Before anybody gets too far into a transaction with this guy, you may want to know what you're dealing with. In addition to reading his other posts around here, you may want to read this:
