betsyrossapk Posted October 26, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I got the greatest deal on a 3 piece set of luggage today (Ricardo Beverly Hills) It is a very nice olive color w/ brown trim. One is 24 X17, one is camera type bag & a suit bag. I got all 3 for $6.00 total at our local Goodwill store. I am all set to leave in only 9 more days.

mconthehighseas Posted November 3, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Congrats Betsy! There's a reason for the second hand stores, and you found one of them! For people who are not near a Goodwill, Bluebird, etc., I got our luggage last year on ebay. You can find out what kind of piece you want and then search. The pieces we got were new. I don't know how they could afford to sell them to me for as "little" as I paid, but you can see i'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betsyrossapk Posted November 3, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Yes, I am still patting myself on the back for the great find. I've used the small bag to be a camera carrying case for all our cameras, film & batteries and the larger bag is perfect. I will get to use them tomorrow when we set sail on the Inspiration. Yippee :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prbabe Posted November 3, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Darn you're Lucky! I have been trying to shop for luggage for a while now and can't seem to find a set I like with my tight budget. Too bad we don't have thrift stores in my area. I liked your idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconthehighseas Posted November 3, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Is there a Marshall's store near you? They sometimes have discontinued stuff at very good prices. Not always as good as ebay, but I don't know if postage to your island would make it prohibitive. I know there's a Wal-Mart in/near San Juan, and they sometimes have some decent cases also.

GiniB Posted December 11, 2004 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2004 PRBabe, I have a question for you. Could you email me (higini@yahoo.com) so I don't have to bore everyone else with it? Thanks! Gini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
