Is a 20 to 25 year old timbuk 2 messenger worth anything?

I don't remember seeing timbuk2 bags until '90 or so. You're sure the bag's a quarter of a century old?

I know that the lady that I got it from said that it was from the early 80's its medium size black with this really strange light green lining in it.

To answer the original question, I don't think an old messenger bag is worth all that much unless you find some sort of obsessed collector. I've got a few zo bags that are older than that, but they're just old bags, y'know?
