    as some people really really really wanted one purely to use as a shopping bag because they are so environmentally friendly etc etc. If that is the case surely these people can pop down to Primark, buy a jazzy canvas shopping bag for 2 quid and use that instead. :confused:

    And how many of these enviromentally friendly people drove their cars to queue at sainsburys

    Well done everyone that sells "the most wanted items" being it dresses from primark, P+P or these bags from Sainsburys - whats the big deal, its a bit of extra money, no ones is going to become a millionaire and retire on it.

    If I'm honest I have one not cos I want to put my milk, bread and sugar in it, but because it's one of the few opportunities I'll get to own an Aya bag and I love the style and design. I can't pretend that it's cos I'm any more eco-friendly than the recycling I already do. Sorry to burst the bubble!

    Let's be honest. Anyone that owns this bag won't be using it for groceries!!! It'll be a bag filled with the unneccessary junk us women carry around on a day to day basis, not things that can leak and stain!!:eek:
    My mind not only wanders .......... sometimes it leaves completely
  • Still haven't seen anyone with one yet (except myself!).
  • No, me neither (and im pleased about that!) I have had a few looks and points from people i dont know at work and on the bus but nobodys said anything to me yet.
    I think im going to sell it now tbh. I really cant justify not making £50+ profit on it when I have loads of bags... and no money.
    I prefer my normal bag anyway, lots of pockets so I know where everything is :rotfl:
    Reclaiming for family and friends. Won 4/13 so far

    Ebay is so flooded with them at the moment that the prices have really dropped. Yesterday morning £150+ was not unusual, tonight they are going for around £70. So it might be worth hanging onto your bag for a few days until Ebay clears a bit. (assuming you would be selling it on Ebay of course!!!)You will be competing against 1000 other sellers if you list it now. Or stick a Buy it Now price of £150 on it, but use the "Accept Best Offer" option and you might be pleasantly suprised at what you get!
    Just a suggestion....I hope it helps xx ;)
    2008 gig list... Nickelback + Staind (OMG...Staind ROCKED!!), Roger Waters, Infadels, Pendulum, The Police, K T Tunstall, Breed 77, Biffy Clyro....oh, and Motorhead :D

    I've developed a bit of an obsession and have watched the bidding all evening! They went from £240 yesterday morning to an average price of £65 now (it's dropped from £70). It's almost like watching it decrease every couple of hours. I'm definitely waiting to see what happens and in the meantime use my lovely bag but not for my shopping!

    I think I need to wake up a bit, read about this bag thing never even thought about ebay till 7.55am on the morning of the sale, checked the selling price, kicked myself and rushed to sainsburys but I was too late, gutted as I'd been up since 6am. And whats with the Protect & perfect stuff never even heard of that.

    Ooh and I do hope high waisted jeans come back It's been so hard to get a decent fitting pair of jeans.
