[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 554903, member: 25183"] I've been looking online at Lowepro bags, specifically the Flipside 200, 300 and 400 bags. I don't know for sure which one I want for sure as no bricks and mortar shops near me sell them (have they been discontinued?) so I can't look at one directly. In any case I can buy them from Amazon.co.uk for £65 Flipside 200 and £79 Flipside 300 and 400. However on ebay there are a load of sellers mostly from China selling them for much cheaper, around £30 -£40, first off I don't trust these not to be fakes and I've read mixed reports about them. There are also sellers in the UK selling them for between £40-£60 depending on which bag you look for. My suspicion is that these are just the same Chinese stock that have been bought cheaply and sold as UK stock for additional profit but I don't know. Has anyone bought Lowepro bags from Ebay and what did you think? Should I just avoid all of these cheaper Ebay priced bags like the plague? The seller from this ad has 100% feedback, most of which is from customers who bought the Flipside 400 [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lowepro-Flipside-400-AW-Black-universal-DSLR-camera-backpack-UK-NEW-/152063099637?hash=item2367aac2f5:g:AtMAAOSwa-dWija0"]Lowepro Flipside 400 AW Black universal DSLR camera backpack - UK,NEW | eBay[/URL] Would you trust this particular seller? They don't have many reviews but all good. On a side note is it wrong to order any of these bags from amazon just so I can view them with a view to returning them.
