The price of playing with these guys is too high..... I'm all ready in too many playgrounds.

[paranday]

Ain't it the truth, brother.

I've been in contact we this guy....the old beat bag...waiting to hear back. Maybe I can get one of these!

I've decided that when I cruise ebay for antique or vintage speed bag equipment listing or historic pictures, I need to wear a
protective aluminum deflector beanie to keep this stuff from reading and controlling my thoughts and emotions. I swear the computer screen, or secret html code within ebay say "buy..buy".

Years ago, when I worked in the Psychiatric closed wards of the VA, you would sometimes see patients using these. seriously, a few did. They swear it stops "the voices" or others from controlling your mind. I used to use it when I first got married, but it didn't seem to work. However, when my wife wore one I could not tell what she was thinking....hmm.

anyway, just a thought. In these days of high science, sometimes the old ways still work best. This model also works for you kids and pets. That could come in handy some time. especially with cats.

I am SO done with eBay! There will be no bids on something....then I bid...all of the sudden, there's an outbid.

Finished...

Which one are you bidding on? I'm in on the one with the rope, but if the "other guy" is you I'll get out.

OMG. I clicked on this link, Alan. This is HILARIOUS!! How do you find these sites?!

Interestingly the Moosehead Whitley is exactly like the one I just got a few months ago. I didn't think there would be that many of them around. Here's mine, they are exactly alike, even the decorative imprint on the base is the same.

Yes...the one with the rope...but go get it, I'm out...or maybe you got it already. I will not try to bid on any swivels anymore.

This might be a stupid question, but… does the metal clip that the rope is looped through, is that clip attached to the loop of the bag permanently affixed to it? I can't see a clasp to remove the bag from it, unless it's on the back side? Maybe they rarely swapped out speed bags back then? Just wondering…

[Speedbag]

...hey zaza when it comes in the mail, i'll then get it shipped out to you, so maybe you can use it in the movie...

aha... now I know who you are.... you snuck that one in on me, did you?

just kidding. you beat me by a penny. Glad it's going to a good home.

...i guess i just happened to stumble on this thread at the right time and seeing how zaza wanted it baddly (i know how that feels) i figured i'd give it a try and if i won, then mail it off to zaza...

apparently you and I are mental telepathetizing again. I wanted it for the same reason.

But I wanted to see that rope connection before he got it

Zaza, we love you man.

[Zaza]

You guys....

You are just TOO much!
(but I'm still fed-up with eBay!)

...the swivel came in this friday, this is a very unusual swivel and bag. the swivel is a two piece swivel but they don't screw into each other, they inter lock and have a spring loaded lever that holds the bottom half from moving ( thats the quick change part of the swivel not the metal swivel eye attached to the bag loop) (eye swivel) this part came with the bag when it was bought years ago (made) and you can't remove it, that's how the bag came, with the metal eye swivel. this bag really really stinks badly and every time i touch it i feel i have to wash my hands or i'll turn to dust. (if this bag can talk) the bladder was in the bag (i took it out, has rips in it) this bag is not a bottom nipple bladder bag, the nipple comes up though the top at the laces. from what i can make out the bag says (Premier) there is also a tri angle below where it said premier but i can't make out what it said, there is also a number under that and it looks like 782 but it's hard to read. i hope the swivel and bag was worth the $ 48.69 i paid for it, what do you guys think ? i'll get this mailed out to you zaza some time next week. enjoy...ralph

Sounds interesting..can't wait!
