A backpack costs 6 leather, and the expensive part of leather is the brains which you only get from hunting large animals. The price that leather can be sold for at the NPC stall is deceptively low. The market rate for Leather is much closer to at least 20-25 silver apiece. It is this high because leather cannot be mass-produced.
This means that the backpack you request is about as expensive as a Writ of Homesteading. I have seen backpacks for sale on my server at player-stalls for around 150 silver. If your server doesn't have Leather or Backpacks for public sale, then this is still a good estimate for how much you would need to offer in return for a backpack. A generous person might do it in exchange for 100 silver worth of goods.
