Dodgy bike bag on Ebay

[seadragonpisces]

Saw this on ebay. Some bloke has just bought the Dimpa bags from Ikea for £3.75 and now flogging them for £12.50 on EBAY, I hope too many people don’t get suckered by this.

Good luck to him, think I might start punting them out for £11 inc p&p

Creative. Not dodgy in my view though.

It's not like its the big blue Ikea bag, the bike looks ok in there imo so good luck to the seller!

Well, it seems "fit for purpose"

Seems a little pricy, but I don't have an issue per se.
It's a perfectly good bag, just not sure I'd pay £15.50 to have one posted to me. But for someone that's not got an Ikea nearby, I suppose it's not too bad...

Yeah not dodgy, creative i guess, bald-faced cheek really, good luck to him/her.

I use a Dimpa for my Brompton and it works a treat, no regrets, bought through Ikea though

Thinking about it, Ikea have presumably sourced these for about 30p from China, and are dodgyly ripping us off at £5.99/ No on second thoughts it is about finding a market and selling at a profit

I first heard of the Dimpa bag about 18 months ago.

Two attempts to buy one failed.

On my second visit to Ikea, a staff member told me that when they come in they are often bought in bulk because 'they fit a folding bike and people sell them on on ebay'.

Dimpa bags are the dogs bollocks for Bromptons. Accept no substitute (even from Brompton). £3.99 at the last time of calling. Never tour without one.

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering how the Brompton bag fitted on the bike.
