well, after thinking about it i decided to sell those bags for the empeg. i havent seen anyone with them, and if there are i take it a bunch of people dont know. Anyway heres the site:

http://www.geocities.com/dj_tenshin/index.html

i apologize for the freeness of the geocities but i wanted to get something up as soon as possible. if the traffic overruns, oh well. anyway, i hope you guys enjoy and check it out. prices and descriptions are available on the site.

I will link this site in the FAQ now. Good job.

Your limited GeoCities bandwidth will probably get hammered pretty quick, so if you decide to move the site, please let me know so that I can change the FAQ links.

i just talked to my friend and hopefully i will be able to transfer it by afternoon tomorrow.

Thanks man

word
i relinked it tonight cuz i cant sleep
heres the NEW url

http://www.changoland.com/embag/

please rerout traffic there, thankx

Okay, link changed.

Couple of tips:

- Don't keep your player under the seat, and even if you ignore my advice and do that anyway, don't have a public web page saying you put your player under the seat.

- I recommend handles only, not a shoulder strap. Give people the option, of course, like you're doing. But I think the original empeg bag design was the best precisely because it didn't have a shoulder strap and was therefore less bulky. I had problems with an aftermarket bag with a shoulder strap because the strap slipped off my shoulder a few times (once causing damage to my Mk1).

i used to keep it there but FCUK that now. i put that baby in my backpack and roll on
heh

If want to gain credibility, tone down the street lingo, clean up your language and try to use a spell checker. It really will instill confindence in your workmanship from potential customers. I like the idea though and from the images, it looks like you have a sound product.

Just a suggestion,

Stu

..and this coming from a guy who calls himself "maczrool"

LOL.

Sup G? You not down wit my suggestion?

The thing is, I'm not selling anything under the name .

Stu

i apologize for the profuse usage of coloquial language. i will emplore the tools known as a "spell checker" as well as tone down my "ghetto slang" so that i may better communicate to you all without the use of a "slangslator"

thanks for the suggestion and i appreciate the comment on the bag as well.

Hey Stu

U need a spell checker too, dood..."confidence" only has two "n"s...

Also, it's "workpersonship" these days, "workmanship" is not PC.

(ha ha)

Good point! I omitted a "you" in the first sentence too. But then I meant to make those mistakes, yeah, that's it .

For some reason, my spell checker doesn't like workpersonship , but then I've never been one to subscribe to the whole PC movement anyway.

Stu

Excellant! Up here, PC stands for Progressive Conservatives. Isn't that what they call an oxymoron???

well, heres the 99% finished version of what a finalized embag will look like. It is now offered in 5 colors (red, orange, purple, blue, and black) The strap as you see can be customized in any primary color you would like.

There you have it. The bag on the site was the first one i made, and as you can see i have already improved upon it.

I was just wondering where you picked up the skills to put one of these things together.

Stu

odd enough my mom and dad were fashion designers. I think i had sewed a total of 1 month in my life...so its gotta be genetic. I thought of it, put it into action and made it happen, with the help of my moms. I guess thats where i got it from.

You have two moms? Just kidding. I got started with electronics in a similar fashion (pun intended). Usually I would just build useless things, but now I am on to bigger and better things. Good luck with the bags. When I get some money I'll get one. Right now all funds are going into my S/PDIF project.

Stu

They look good. You did a good job.

I was kind of wondering if you have any update on where my bag is? I sent you payment 9 days ago after you emailed me that it was ready and I have no bag or any further communication from you.

Thanks

Jay

I got an email from him.He said he had a death in his family and would be gone for a week.

When was that?

I think it was thursday or friday of last week.

Thanks,, guess Ill wait it out a few more days. Would have been nice if he would have dropped me a line since I have already sent him funds.

many apologies guys, i went through some major stuff in the last two weeks. Your bag will be in the mail on moday. i assure that. its just that i went through some major family stuff. I really do apologize about that.

Hello all. i figure this will be the quickest way to let this be known. As of late as i told you i have been going throuh some family problems which have caused me to have a lot of problems putting out these bags. Just to let you know for the past week i have been looking and trying to get in contact with my mom. I havent seen her for about a week + now and i hvent even gotten a call. Thats what i was talking about when i meant that i had major family stuff.

I really do apologize, and at the present moment i do not know when i will be resuming the construction of these bags because im trying to locate my mother. I hope that you all can understand, but if you dont, well, theres not much i can do about it. But until i can get in contact with her at least, i wont be doing much in the way of bag making.

Once again im very sorry to all of you out there, and jay your refund is on its way. Sorry man.

Thanks all for the understanding.

Niais

Hope you find her and things work out ok for you.

Hope things work out for you. Sorry to hear about what's going on.

As I understand it, at least one user on this BBS has already sent you money for a bag via PayPal. I highly recommend that you refund his money ASAP to prevent problems.

I will remove the link to your site from the FAQ now. Let me know if you choose to begin production on these bags.

No refund yet. It only takes about 30 seconds to send me the cash back I have already sent you through Paypal.

While I sympathize with your situation, your handling off this situation has been very poor. You communicated well up until you had money then nothing. When your situation arose, you never emailed me, despite the fact that I had already paid you. You posted "The bag is going out tomorrow" here just a few posts up then nothing again. Even when you decide to cancel/delay the project, you didn't email me, you just posted here. I have still yet to receive a reply to the email I sent you 5 days ago asking for a refund.

I'm not going to cry over $25.00 but I dont like getting jerked around either. I would appreciate you taking care of this ASAP and in the future it probably would work better for you to send bags then collect money. At least then this kind of thing can be avoided.

I seem to remember reading in another post about how PayPal will shut down someone's account if they even remotely suspect them of fraudulent behavior. Even to the point of refusing to release the closed member's money sitting in his account...

Yea, that's coming next.

I'm really trying to be understanding here but I keep getting the feeling that I'm getting jacked around. Here's the email I received from this guy. This was the last communication I had with him and that was 3 weeks ago. He had no problems emailing me until he got my money and now, nothing.

hello Jay,


This is niais, the creator of the emBAG. just wanted to let you know that
I recieved your order and I am beginning the construction process today.


I thank you for your order and you happen to be the first order i have
recieved. So a very good occasion for me. Once again I thank you. As you
have asked, i will try to pad the bag as well as I can within limitation
of the design. However if you need moe padding after its done, e-mail me
back and i will make the changes.


Once construction is complete, i will send you a picture of your finished
product for your review and then as stated i will send the bag as soon as
i recieve payment.


Look forward to an e-mail in 1-3 days.


Niais



Excellent! I'll be waiting to hear from you.


Thanks!

So.. the bag is done? I send him money and now he's too busy to take 5 minutes out of his day to go to the post office? He's too busy to take 30 seconds out of his day to refund my money. Maybe he's distracted, I dunno. I want to be sympathetic to the situation but he really isn't giving me any reason to be.

I received a refund from Niais this morning.

Thanks, Niais.

theres no thaking needed. i should have done so without you having to say anything. I really do apologize about doing that.
