Sorry to hear it went up to $24.99 but like my message said, it was supposed
to be a one day sale. When I purchased it the price was $4.99 and just
under ten bucks including shipping. Personally, I don't think I would have
paid $24.99 for it as there is no guarantee the BookPort will fit in the
Ipod compartment, but I guess you can just put the Bookport in a different
spot in the bag. Hope it works out for you.

I just ordered one. Besides being a good bag to use to carry my BP, my
speakers on my laptop are terrible and these speakers might help. The price
is not $4.99 but is $24.99. This is still a good deal for a pair of
speakers.

My take on this is that it is probably a discontinued item by the
manufacturer. I think this GraveYard deals site specializes in discontinued
merchandise, but can't be sure on that point. The bag may have been
discontinued for many different reasons, but may not necessarily be because
it was a bad product. If you search for reviews on this bag, you will find
that they are mixed but those were folks that paid 499 for it. The most
common complaint seems to be that the compartment that holds the amplifier
for the speakers is a bother to get to for turning the system on and off.
This may be true, but I'll know for sure when I get mine. Still, if that is
the only problem, it is still a deal at this price despite this
inconvenience.

My question is why are they so desperate to get rid of these things? You
don't have a huge price slash without a reason.
