While a handy haversack requires a 5th level spell to create and is 2000GP, would a backpack (or a belt for that matter) cost the same, or cost less?
It seems that tripling your carrying capacity is worth 800-1000gp when campared to the sheer volume carried (and lack of adjustment to your carrying capacity) that a handy haversack offers.
With the demand from laborers, wharehouses, etc, I would think that this item might require a CL4 caster with the wonderous items creation feat, as he might normally cast it for 8hrs at a time, and 3 times in a day, is 24 hours. Yet this doesn't quite follow the formula for creating items, altough the Haversack sets the example, and that is at least 3 times as useful (especially for retrieval) as a Ant Haul Haversack.
Questions and theories regarding pricing for this anyone?
The Muleback Cords already do this, with their +8 Strength bonus to lifting things.
Take, for example, a 10 strength (100lbs max weight) being increased to an 18 (300lbs max weight).

Yeah, but muleback cords are based off of bull's strength (which I thought was an odd choice since ant haul seemed perfect to base it off of) so the two could work together.
A backpack with a command word CL 4 ant haul 3/day would be approx. 4311 gp. While a continuous use ant haul backpack CL 1 would be 2000 gp. And while you are effectively doing the same thing as muleback cords (tripling your capacity is about +8 str bonus) since they are separate sources they would stack together.

I would make them Boots of Ant Haul.
Antennas of Ant Haul.
