    I bought a Motorcycle Helmet for my nephew off Ebay and scored a great deal.

    Bell, VORTEX, Full-face, Vented, Flat Black.
    I checked the Bell Website, ... they go for $189.00 and up.
    I got it for $58.00 plus shipping ($12.00)

    The Ebay Seller: safety.first.helmet

    This fellows Feedback was outstanding.
    Some of the Helmets are Unique like HOG Riders prefer.
    Most are Regular-types: Full, Half, Shorty's and CHiP's type.

    I think they even test them to make sure they work, too!

    Looks like he got a hold of dealer's unsold inventory. Good deal either way!

    Some of them are "pre-owned" and some are "new, without tags."

    A lot of the HJCs are 10-year old models. Helmets are like tires, they "age out."

    I'd pass too.

    The only definitive tests for helmets require them to be subjeced to impacts that destroy the helmet. They are one use items. Buy new.
