It was bound to happen

I started my company on a couple of bag riders. Then Forum made me a sponsor. Then I never went back to work after covid and expanded into a full line of products.

So, now here is a guy that copied the original bag rider exactly and is selling it on Amazon. Nice. I suppose it was just a matter of time.

Sadly it's not an offense unless the article design is copyrighted. Stiller copied the panda, and later a slightly different copy of the pumpkin neck turner. It's just a fact of life. Some do it, some will not.

Getting a patent is not a straight forward thing for an individual. Most likely this way on purpose. So only rich companies can afford to pay patent attorneys. It is a long and drawn out process. Can cost thousands. Not saying a bag rider would. But I had a patent attorney as a roommate for a while.

Hey, since lots of people were reading this thread, I would like to say this.

I am a one man store. I don't get to the Post Office or UPS every day. Lots of times my local PO does not even bother to scan packages in for tracking. I get lots of snarky messages about shipping with the PO (free shipping). I am about to the point of saying "write your Congressman". It is truly impossible for a Mom and Pop shop to compete with AMAZON shipping (and for someone to think they can leaves me shaking my head). I also get the "I ordered it on Tuesday and I need it for a match on Saturday". And when it doesn't arrive in time it is somehow my fault.

I just had a PO package with a bag rider go all the way to the west coast, and turn around and come back to Oklahoma, probably to turn around and go back. If anyone thinks I like that, they are wrong.

But I am not Amazon. Which will eventually put everyone else out of business.

This is my latest version. I have to say I am very proud of the finish. They were a bit rougher when I started for sure!!!
