my badd!!! I was not finish yet.
Edit: But I did get #2200



This one is from Aaron Shepard. Another great deal.....like $17 with shipping. Way too cheap for one of his bags! The last one I had.... I lost right when it was broke-in :cry: . I hope this breaks-in as nice as the last one.

The next bags are from Nick Landes. I thought I was buying a 14 panel 55g bag and a mini 32 panel that was 55g also. That is not what I got from him :( . I got a 14 panel that weighs 45g and a tiny micro bag that weighs 35g. He did tell me it was small. I said I didn't care as long as it weighs. He told me "it is heavy". Not happy with these bags at all!!

sidekick wrote:hey, sorry to hear that the bag wasn't to your liking. I didn't realize how light they were, because I lost my scale in the move. If you want, I can make you a new 32 and 14, this time heavier, and send them out to you, if you send me the other ones back when you get the new ones. I feel bad that they weren't what you were looking for, so I can replace them for you as compensation :)

Sorry, I wasn't trying to call anyone out. Yes.... it was way light and small. But by the time we send stuff back to each other we both wasted cash and time. I will just get another bag from you soon as I get extra cash. Plus I have a friend that loves it.

And the last bag is just Bad ass!!!! This is the 2nd bag a got from Jozef. These OshBags are great. I love my first one. It was choice really fast. I liked it so much I had to get another from him. I now own 2 of his bags. I wish I had more. This bag has white star on the other side.

doesn't it suck really bad when you don't get what you asked for. :evil:

This has happened to me a bunch of times but I never said anything, way to stand up for yourself.

That bag looks waaaay to small for anyones liking and 35 grams! This inst the 90's. :roll:

But w/e, that osh bag looks bomb!

I'm getting a new shipment of oshbags coming in the mail. I hope there what I asked for. :wink:

That blue and the radiation bag jake made looks awesome. They might feel really stiff when you get them, but like an abshire it will take some time(but not as much time as an abshire :lol: ).

Whatever. If you have shot, fill it to whatever weight you need to. Footbags aren't sacred artifacts.

I have played with some of Nick's bags and I don't think that they were bad. In fact, they felt a bit like Matt Cross' which everyone really likes.

I just don't feel like one person's unsatisfactory experience should stop someone else from buying one.

I don't want to stop people from buying his footbags. The stitching is good. The bags just is too small to do anything with. I just wanted what I asked for. Mini 55g. ....Not micro 35gs. This bag is about half the size of my Matt Cross bags. About half the weight too. But yes the stitching looks about the same?

i have 6 nick landes bags and so far the 3 that I've broken in have been some of the best low gather bags I've ever played with(matt cross and brian denis are my other favorites). :)

I just said it sucks when you get something else than what you expected.

Yeah, but you can see how if you say something like, "I got the completely wrong bag" without saying that his bags usually play well could discourage people from buying one?

And yeah, that does suck. :P

How about another review once the bag is broken in?

perhaps you should play more footbag and stop wasting money on unnecessary amounts of bags

Osh bag (far left) and planetfootbag tee that I ordered a month ago, arrived safely recently.

Drew Krause 32 on the middle right. Aaron Shepard 32 on the far right.

Bag on middle left is a bag I made, going straight to Eskimo Joe.

Or play more footbag and still BUY more footbags!! But I don't waste money. I like to resell them in my shop if I don't keep them. Every bag that I did not give away as a present to friends or keep for myself to kick I made a profit on.....Waste of money? I don't think so. I have only lost one bag so far. Now that was a waste of money. I don't think all the great stitchers here on modified think their bags are a waste of money. I few of them do it for the love of the game and not the money. Is that a waste of time?



On that note..... if anybody has any rejections about me putting their bags on eBay. Please let me know. I will not under cut your prices. But I will give you props and direct them to modified as the place I bought them from. Some people just like the security of eBay. I want to be able to give them a choice of player bags. I also have a huge amount of disc golf discs I’m selling in an eBay store as well. I have these bags on display in my shop now. Soon they will be on display on eBay too. Some people like the safeness of eBay.

WHAT?! What in the world makes you think that that's alright to do??! I'm offended, to say the least.

None of us stitchers sell on ebay because there's a patent on the 32-p pattern by flying clipper which prevents us from selling on ebay. So if we can't, what makes you think you can? For profit at that! Ugh!!!!! :evil:

Peng are you being facetious?

I don't sell on ebay because of the posting fees and I can't compete with $5 32 panel bags marketed to hackey sackers who don't and shouldn't care in the difference in quality.

Don't worry.... I play with both of your bags.

I wanted to see what would happen. I don't belive they can stop everybody from selling 32 panels. Can they? I just wanted to post a few bags just to to see what would happen. Not really for profit. But to get people here and see what a great sport this really is. See what real freestyle bags are like. I just want everybody to get a chance a great bags. When they see a hand stitched player bag for $20-35. They will wonder who, how, when, and why. And everyone here at (edit) modified.in can answer that for them. Plus they can read about and talk with some of the best players in the world. I just thought it would be cool. You don't get anything thing like that on ebay.

Yeah, that's total bullshit man. There's no way you should be reselling bags, whether you profit or not.

if you're creating a product and selling it at a profit, what takes away a person's right to resell that item? He's not undercutting anybody or exploiting anyone. worldfootbag.org resells bags, freedom resells bags, planet footbag, kolo sports resells bags.

Do you guys disagree with retail stores then?

Everything is being resold.. stitchers buy facile and thread and make bags, I don't think fieldsfabrics is getting upset about it.

The fact is guydro is creating a demand.

Pengpeng, you were buying packages of glover's needles, opening them, and selling them individually for a profit, remember? How is that any different
