So trendy it's uncool

I was going to write something here about how even with a multi-million dollar turnover and manufacturing being done in factories in the Far East rather than a small workshop in Melbourne, Crumpler (warning - hideous noisy Flash site) are still marketing themselves in an obscurely annoying way. However, I seem to have put most of my thoughts into this eBay auction instead. (Not that I'm trying to cynically drum up bids or anything, mind.)

(Later note - Okay, so eBay have pulled the auction, which was for my old Crumpler laptop bag. The reasons are obscure, but apparently it violated their policy as, shock horror, it included an external link to a newspaper article about Crumpler. Given that eBay UK is crawling with scams (Get your free Mac mini!) and vendors who just plain misrepresent themselves (listing says they're in the UK.. but oh, they're in Hong Kong!) or their goods, picking on lil' old me on such a technicality seems to be rather mean. Ah well.)

Mike, it's only the 6th but already your Ebay link is invalid
