Footbags for Sale

splatdome · Post by **splatdome** » 22 Aug 2005 17:59

I'v been stiching 32 panel footbags for about 6 months now, and i feel that i am now ready to start selling. i wanted to wait until i was experienced enough, and i think the time has come.

I just ordered all new colors and filler and i'm ready to take orders. As long as i am not receiving orders, i will post bags here that are for sale, and you can pm me if you would like to buy it.

Bags will cost $30 US. I have a paypal account setup and ready for those that wish to use that. This includes shipping.

A standard bag is golfball size and 40 grams. I have a pattern for a bigger bag for those that want one. If you have a specific weight u prefer just let me know and i can do that no problem.

Here are pictures of the colors available, and a few bags that i have made.

Hope you like them! Feel free to pm me if your interested in a bag.

$30? i think you should give a few out for free first just so other people know how good they are and make some reviews on them first. just my opinion. and they would probaly sell better too. But They Look very NICE! good job.

I'm broke on the other hand so i cant afford one

i have seen countless of justins bags that he has made, at first they where really small and overfilled but his new bags that he has been making are turning out really really nice, the oranage and blue bag in one of the pics is broken in and i have played with it, it stalls real good and is a sturdy bag unless u mistreat it. He hasnt had much good filler to work with but i am told he is getting the type of filler abshire bags have in them. Im glad that Justin is finnaly starting to sell because its a definitly a good choice to get one.

i'm sorry if $30 seems like too much. it takes a good amount of time and work to make a bag and i can't go any cheaper. that's just how it is.

untill i some one i know and trust is raving about your bags in a circle or i have played with one, i will never pay 30 dollars for your bags. as a new stitcher i don't think you can expect people to pay 30 a bag. it's too big of a gamble. i think if you try 20 you will probably sell more bags and in the long run, make more money. at that price i might be willing to try a new unknow stitcher, but untill i know i'm getting quality, i'll go with a name i trust.

Dude Andrew, have you forgotten the amount of time and passion that goes into making a bag?

Anything less than $30 is big time ripping off and disrespecting the stitcher.

Chris Kovacs represented these bags hard in Europe, the one that he brought with him was UUUUUUUBER choice.

Justin, perhaps one day we can trade?

Props on your stitching, all that I have seen has been superb.

i understand what you guys are saying, but i can't go any cheaper, sorry. just dont buy my bags, i dont mind.

chris covaks, will digges, zach hoffa, john schneider, matt cross, andrew ivanyo, pat mcgurran

30$ thats includeing shipping is NOT no way a bad price, if it takes him 6 hours to stitch less then FIVE $5 dollars an hour. thats WITH SHIPPING i mean come on thats not bad at all.

now about justins stitching. HE ISNT NEW he is only new to selling. the first bag he ever sold he sold to me at spikeNshred in NJ. i asked to have a green/yellow/with 4 orange dots that he could place anywhere to give it his own special touch, also a first paturn for him. i can still remeber what it looked like in the big yard we where siting while i watched him put the finishing stitchs in to the bag. i played with it right after stretching it around kinda roughly

seting the stetchs in there final resting places or at least closer. the thread he uses for loser stitched bags is kinda stretchy but MEGGA strong an i think this thred with a mix of justins stiching style, witch i add he has PROFECTED befor he desited to sell to everyone, is what makes these bags soo cool. i have 2 dozen bags an in the top 3 next to my felix an lonn is justins bag. i kinda treated it kinda rough its whole life. i broke it in VERY VERY fast. if everyone remebers at spikeNshred me showing them the bag an everyone was all like "HOW DID YOU BREAK IT IN ALL READY" well be rough an mean an thats what happends. point?¿ my bag is still alive an well and being used has no holes in the matiral an this was 3 months ago. so i know his stitching has only improved. these bags have CLEARLY gotten only better. justin has put alot of time behind the needle geting his stitching consistant an even an besides he will make almost any pattern you ask him too all tho you have to relize that its harder to stitch when it differnt paterns an the materials could pull a hoodenie *sp* an stretch funny on ya.

all in all JUSTINS BAGS ARE REALLY REALLY COOL. i belive he uses a different thread if u want a more puffy bag an the mega strong stretchy cool thread for his loser bags, i swear they feel like jello filled bags of goodness. i sudjest picking one up. there are good odds justin could be the newest coolest stitcher on modified. but we wont know unless some other ppl buy an get some second opinions on them.

i am totaly STOKED to be geting my second Jj bag they are the shit on the bees knees an more

thanks justin.

i can see how it would be hard to trust my stiching, and thats understandable. hopefully i'l make it to funtastiks to show off some of my new bags. that will help get the word out.

Hey your bags look awesome Justin. I will probably buy one when I can afford it (but that won't be for sometime

). I did get a new job today though

If I were you Splatdome, I'd not make another post in here. There is no need to justify the price you're asking for because it is fair, especially for the way your bags look (very neatly stitched). Now, if your bags looked sloppy, 30 would be out of the question, but they certainly are not. They look great. I'll just say that it only took abouot 3-4 shredders to "take a chance" on buying a Mirken bag before the word got out and my "business" exploded. So, at this time Id like to thank Clayton Chin and Ted Anderson, and a shredder in Nova Scotia whose name eludes me, for being some of the first people to ever buy my bags.

Take a chance and try out a new stitcher's bag. There is virtually no downside.

Yea i think his bags are great. Willie has one that he traded for balance of power. We haven't really broken it in yet because we have a superb ilija and Lonn bg that are beautifuly broken in, and we just can't bring ourselves to part with them at this time

But justin's bag feels awesome with the amount of hand massaging we've given it. Im looking forward to it being fully broken in!
