Rick Steves 'Rolling Carry-on Wheeled Luggage Extend

I am so wishing for a Rick Steves 'Rolling Carry-on Wheeled Luggage Extend'. But unfortunately this bag is no longer in the RS shop!!!

I can no longer lift. This small bag is perfect for my travels. I am interested to purchase if anyone has an unstained, pre-owned bag. Please help me keep traveling.

Can you tell me how the bag you are seeking is different than the current Rick Steves rolling carryon that is available? The current one does have the option for unzipping a second zipper to extend the width of the bag. Is this what you meant by "extend" or did you have something else in mind?

Wheeled bags don't lift themselves up stairs, or into overhead luggage racks, and when you do have to lift them, the extra weight of the frame/handle/wheels makes it harder. Consider using a light weight convertible bag like the Essential Carryon (1¾ lb) and packing lighter.

I'm sorry Lee but I could never pack light enough to be able to carry it on my back or shoulder all the time. Unfortunately those days are gone for me and for many others. Now, finding the best wheeled bag is what we have to do.

Yes, the ebay bag is the one I want. Not willing to $45 plus $37 shipping. I purchased one of these maybe 3 years ago. With this bag I can pack enough for 3 outfits and accsessories. A second bag will allow me to pull along any other items. I think it weighs 3-4 lbs. Absolutely lightweight. Yes, I know they don't lift themselves. But this one can #1 go under seat in front of me and #2 go in overhead bin and be used as a purse, books, etc.

I also own $159.99 Rolling bag. The size is simply too large for me to put in overhead bin, no matter the contents. I am suffering from severe shoulder and elbow issues. Youngsters get out there while nothing hurts!

This is probably not the forum for my request since used items don't seem to fit any topic listed. Thank you all for the advice and caring to help.

The euro bag is quite similar but without the roller. If you have one with roller already, could you just add a Euro bag on top of it and roll both at once.
