Discounted luggage websites
I am shopping for a piece of luggage that I don't intend to use very often, a soft-sided duffle or backpack without wheels. Therefore, I'd like to spend as little as possible on it, within reason--I don't want to waste even a little money on something truly flimsy.
Can you suggest some discount websites, such as Campmor or Overstock? I have months to shop so I can haunt them
I absolutely hate going into stores, and don't have a TJ Maxx near me, so brick and mortar stores seem unlikely to yield results.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried Amazon?
like janisj, I need to touch and feel and walk around with a new piece of luggage. it's nothing I'd ever try to buy online (unless you have free shipping BOTH directions).

I got a really good deal on my Samsonite luggage at www.suitcase.com. You might also want to check www.overstock.com as well.

I am a fan of ebays. I bought a gorgeous rolling laptop bag from them on sale and I get compliments on it every time I use it. It's the strangest thing - even men compliment it. Great service, great price, great quality.

Here's the roller -

When I just went to their website, a popup said they are having a big sale right now - up to 65% off.

I like ebags, too, a lot. I have a carry on roller of theirs that is just ingeniously designed and it was not at all expensive.
I am still looking, but thank you all for the suggestions. Right now I really like this bag for my needs:

I know Patagonia is probably worth the $120, I just didn't want to pay that much. Hence the quest for a website where I might find it for less.

Btw, the bag can't have rollers and should be soft-sided all around and must also be water-resistant, though not waterproof. One thing that's great about that Patagonia is that it has shoulder straps that would allow me to carry it like a backpack for short distances, like in the airport.

Quite a few choices at zappos. I'd not pay $120 for a duffle myself. We have a couple of Dakine bags, which really hold up well and look nice.

Thanks, Tab! I actually have a Dakine backpack, so thanks a lot for the reminder. I am now looking at this Dakine duffel:
http://www.zappos.com/dakine-womens-...-74l-medallion
$50 is a whole lot easier to contemplate than $120! Shoulder strap instead of backpack straps, but I don't think I need to pay $70 extra for backpack straps.

Some of my favorite small luggage are the Swiss Gear series from Target. They carry pretty nice stuff anymore, at reasonable prices.
My favorite duffle, came from LL Bean. Their Adventure Duffle series are wonderful. Mine has been to China, Thailand, Tahiti, sailing the Caribbean, every winter to Mexico, three times to Africa and its still in good shape. With an LL Bean Visa card you used to be able to get free monograming, too.

Thanks for that, TC. The LL Bean Adventure duffles are slightly bigger than the Dakine I was looking at on Zappos (in the comparable size, that is), and about the same price. But the Dakine has a separate side compartment, which is ideal for a dirty pair of shoes, you know? Decisions, decisions...

NewbE, I just bought a Dakine roller bag like this one, at ebags. I got a more subtle and pretty print, which are now sold out.
http://www.ebags.com/product/dakine/...erunder/207233
With the sale, my purchase came to $99, including shipping and tax.
I know you don't want wheels, but you might find a good price at ebags.j
DH has the small duffel you post above, in a dark grey plaid. It is very sturdy. He uses it everyday to go to the gym.
I have two Dakine bags I use a lot: one is a large purse, the other is a larger version of that purse. The larger one fits my iPad and accessories, carry on necessities, books, and even my everyday purse, if I need to nest them for carryon.
Dakine is so well-made.

Thanks, Tab! I would actually like wheels just fine, but we were asked to avoid them if possible because the bags will be strapped to mules, and the guys find that if everyone has wheeled bags, positioning is tougher. Or so we were told, and we want to comply. I am definitely leaning towards Dakine, and I do keep an eye on eBags promos...
