    What are these bags, and how come I cannot find them on Everlast's site?

    I just saw these bags on Ebay. I have never seen them before and they are not on Everlast's website. Are these Chinese counterfeit bags, or are they something that they only sell overseas?



    I would buy one except the price seems a bit too much. I love the black and yellow one, but that price.

    Those look like old new stock. They were in the catalog back when this forum was started, but it's been awhile since they've been offered.
    The yellow and black one was the favorite of a number of people here back in the day (many of which for what ever reason no longer post here)as was the blue and red one. As I recall quality control was an issue back then too. Some of them held up well, other's were trashed within a month of use.

      It was a "very fast bag", but the leather didn't last long on many of them.

      Correct-o! These use to be "the thing" back in 2006-2008 or 9. As I remember the leather cracked like crazy very fast.

        Alan, remember Tim's "Melon ball" bag? It was a blue and red Everlast that had a shape unlike any of the others that we had seen. When it finally died, it was discovered that for what ever reason when it was made it was fitted with a double end bag bladder......

          Thanks guys, you are all really quick with the info. Too bad they didn't make that black and yellow with some premium leather because I really like the color scheme. I am kinda disappointed with Everlast. The Elite black bags I got when I got back into bagging became too bouncy for me and I gave them away, plus the 9x6 was too banana for me.

            I DO remember the Mellon bag. It was the last mellon.

                Correct. Nice catch, Paranday.

                That ad is an example of someone from another dimension. $110 for one of those bags!!! Is that seller insane?

                I wouldn't pay $110 for all three.

                  Way to go, didn't catch the fact that the yellow and black is way bigger than the original production

Any Words or thoughts on this...
                    I'm in for a black and yellow bag. I find it pretty interesting that this would be a homemade bag. I like hand made craftsmanship.
