Yeah, that's funny. You never know what happens to these old threads!
Please, if you do, let me know what you thought of them!

This looks like a scam. Already contacted the seller, who's selling a bunch of these "new and in the box". She's willing to send them through the mail for 120$ shipping included. How bad can these panniers be? I mean, even if they're fake crap, would they still do the job or should I stay away? What I don't want is something that's going to break in the middle of nowhere, 1000 km from home.

Just came across the same thing last week responding to an ACA forum thread. Looked up the Sears Motel in E. Glacier Park on Google Maps. If you click on the official link it takes you to a Montana hook up site, complete with lurid photos.
But I’m not mad.

Yeah. And I got a message from an admin. I think I’ve since sufficiently explained what must have happened.

and yes, re these bags, not worth it. Go with a known quantity. Heck just the mounting ortlieb has is worth the difference.

Is it better and cheaper than the original?
