    Interesting paint job on the backpacks. Pink covering the… logo?

      Yes. Bags don't have the pink :)

    OP, I gather they have some sort of corporate logo on them? they look like the sort of bag you'd pick up at a convention or trade show.

    Clearly if they say "Tampax" or "Viagra" they might be a hard sell, even at this price.

    • xerot on 24/01/2017 - 13:02

      I may be wrong but it looks a lot like a bag i have from an RTO, that has now been rebranded. Still a good bag

        Yeah….messenger bag looks good.

          That's what i have, does the job. Padded and sturdy. Don't ask what size laptop it takes, 15" ok

        You can have this pink splooge backpack for free. That might work, if for the curiosity factor.

        Draw the ozb logo in crayon onto paper and then iron carefully onto the bag.

    Has anyone picked up any? If so how many? Just to track how many OZbargainers in this end of the woods. I picked up 40 BP and 15 LB. The backpacks have been sent through to a lady doing hampers for the homeless and the laptop bags have been circulated in the office.

    Thanks OP, couldn't make it so asked the wife to get some. Still heaps left. If you're after a desk for home or the office or general office style furniture in general they are going insanely cheap for pretty decent stuff too. As an example a decent desk for using at home/office is only $25

    Hi all. Anyone went around Friday arvo? I see the stuff on the local Tender Disposal Facebook page and suspect they may have cleared the freebies. They are selling at 2 for $10

    • missspeckles on 27/01/2017 - 22:47

      I was there today at about noon, I think they still had bags available… Saw lost of sold stickers with "tenders" on all the furniture… I didn't end up getting any bags myself (don't need any).

  • MrCh0307 on 28/01/2017 - 11:45

    Wonder if theres any available if These are being sold at 2 for $10 by Tender Disposals Springwood. I would like to send some to an orphanage overseas that I support. The kids would love these. But I guess its been cleared by Tender Disposal

    • goodcopbadcop on 01/02/2017 - 13:51

      I would say so. I was there on Friday and saw guys from Tender Disposals (logo on their shirts) loading up utes with boxes of the backpacks and laptop bags and making several trips. Annoying that they are selling them 2 for $10. BTW I researched and Evocca College had a graduation rate of about 10% despite claiming more than $290 Million in Govt funding via the VET FEE-HELP student loan scheme, that was closed down in Dec 2016.The figures show out of 38,213 students who signed up to its Diploma courses in the past four years, only 2,058 were handed Diplomas by October 2014.There were 16,567 students who officially cancelled and 3,897 who timed out of the course. The Company was investigated by the Govt for the way in which they signed up students and their low rate of completion. They used to provide a lap top with the prospective student agreeing to a $20K Loan Debt that was paid to the company by the Govt and supposed to be paid back through the tax system once the person's income was $52K. One has to presume that some of the $290 Million was used to purchased these Back Packs & Lap top bags in previous years - so technically they belong to tax payers who are now funding a huge chunk of that $290 Million that this company received and will never be paid back. They should be free to tax payers!
