Interesting! But after buying a Berkeley Flap with no signs of use, I am spoiled. I don't think I could consider buying unless I could see in person what the spotting is about. : /

Edited to add : I forgot to quote the Berkeley Field Bag listed several posts above.

Gnarly stains! I'm watching.

How bad is it? It's fungus right? It may leave stains even after treatment but at least it's not visible from outside. I think it will transform beautifully. I am not bidding as my work bin is full. I wish someone here wins and hopefully I get lucky enough to see the rehab results.

I can't lie, I totally would. I am expecting it zoom right past what my allowance would allow. Yes, I hope a tPFer nabs it and posts after pics.
IIRC, there a was Field Bag up for auction, maybe 6 months ago that was beat up to beyond and back (weren't large areas of the piping completely shredded?) and the seller was really great about the fully disclosing it was truly a hot mess. It went for something in the neighborhood of $119 . *checks cabinet for popcorn*

Yes. I remember that one! Another super hard to find item!

Considering the BIN price is $160 that seems like a possibility. I added this one to my watch list when it was at $1, I cannot wait to see what happens even though it'll quickly get out of my price range. Also interesting to note that the seller is in Hawaii. I wonder if the environmental conditions it's been in might pose some challenges with that fungus/mildew bloom.

Not interested. I think I saw the new version (used) listed a few days ago for much cheaper anyway. Is the original bigger than this one? I've heard the new one is very small.

It's even smaller? I haven't compared measurements but why did they make it smaller? I thought it was already not long enough to wear crossbody in the original style. (Scratches that off the list to collect!)

I don't know about the strap length but I've heard it is really tiny. If it had been bigger, I would have bought it when it came out (the new one.) That's why it wasn't very popular on the forum.
