I have no idea what you guys are talking about with Ebay. Surely no matter what its up to wether you are the highest bidder or not? If you lose your bid simply wasnt high enough...???
Anyway, onto the bagsters. Pan and anyone else that has problems, you should be able to get the bits for free from your local bike shop (so long as they stock bagster stuff). The bike shop may want to send the unit away to get repaired, thats fine if you can wait a few weeks. It just means you will get the job done fully for free.
But if you dont want to wait and dont mind paying, then just ask them to get the bits in and take it to a leather repairer. My bits came in in a couple of days.
I called up two bike shops here in Canberra (Action and CMC) and both would fix it free, but Action wanted to send it away (4 to 6 week wait) and CMC offered to get the bits in. I opted to get it done quick and get the bits in and sew them on myself (or at least get my partner to do it).
