I am selling four Ortlieb bicycle panniers, used only once, for 350,000W. These bags are unavailable in Korea and are known around the world as the best waterproof bags out there. They are 100% waterproof, made in Germany, and are indestructable. They each have two reflectors on them, the larger bags have outer pockets. The two front panniers convert to shoulder bags (straps included).

Here's what I have:

2 Front-roller Classic (Black) 1500 cubic inches
2 Bike-packer Plus (Black) 2500 cubic inches.

These bags are on the quick-clip system and take about 5 seconds to hook up to any bike rack. No wear, tear, or damage. Located in Dongdaemun/Jamsil.

Pics are from the web, the red ones are black.

Wow. I'm sure they're high quality, but I didn't spend that much on my bike. Us ESLers are cheapskates Embarassed

Good luck with the sale.

PS I didn't see a link?

If its what I think it is, that set should cost about $400US new. That makes it a pretty good deal since it is only used once. It is a very good deal. The thing to keep in mind is that this kind of gear is typically used for a bicycle tour. If you dream of bicycling around Korea than this is the gear you want. You buy a good set of bags like this and you could use them for decades.

Oh I know, and I'm into cycling myself. But it's a pretty small market to be selling into. I'd be putting them on Craigslist as well.

im glad you guys appreciate this, yes, they're on craigslist. These retail like you said for 400, then to ship them to Korea is an extra 50, plus you have to pay import tax to the government as well which brings you to about 475. Only used once, they will last a lifetime. With the current exchange rate that is a 50% discount for something you can't even find here. I've had good response to strange bike gear, so I'm sure something will come along.
