He did, but only posted about it on this site this month on the 12th. Those are going for $219 on his site. He is aware of the ripoff: https://www.facebook.com/GBDS1/posts/1430649183665951
I assumed that Baglane started with a Simian and reverse engineered it, but maybe they got a hold of the specs when GB was looking to outsource?

Need to freak the Amazon seller a little bit. I'm sending cuff crazy LLC a message through my Amazon account. If they get a few, they may take notice.
...i'm assuming they're going to end up somewhere though. I just hope that the bag guy ends up with a big loss and headaches. Maybe having to real flea market for 30$ each.

If you are going to pay $220 or whatever then it would be crazy not to spend the extra few bucks to get a real quality product and support the man who designed it. I mean why would someone spend that much money on a knock off anyways? Its pathetic that people come to a place like this to support these knock off artists. Whats worse is the conditions of the factories that knock offs/clones are produced in. I am a vaper and I have watched a few videos of some of these factories that manufacture cloned mods, tanks, etc. You wouldn't believe the conditions these people are working in and how the products and the people are treated. **** everywhere, chemicals all over the ground, rust everywhere, etc. Just on that reason alone I will not buy a knock off. Sadly is its almost always an American who brings these amazing products to China to have them copy.

I see this as gorilla boys fault. He didnt keep up the supply for the demand. He tried to maximize profit at the expense of taking months to get ppl their bags.
I feel like he missed out on alot of customers by taking too long to get ppl bags. I was one of those.
Amazon has other rip off bags. They have almost an exact copy of the Grip L bag. I dont see anyone trying to trash that company.

If you have a demand for your product you better 1: get a patent or 2: make sure you can keep up with the supply
Dont get me wrong, i like gorilla boy and their bags are bullet proof. We just have to be realistic. Look at the Zuca cart. Someone modified them for disc golf and now its a big money maker for Zuca. My first reaction was anger towards the knockoff GB but what are we mad about?

Yeah, I see your point. I have never understood why he hasn't expanded at least a little. Clearly the demand is there - why not make more bags and more money?
