I have watched the bells the magnums sell for a bit up to $500 for a very nice one but no point other than display you cant use anything that isn't new in helmets if it has been dropped even once it could be buggered not as safe as new ones and the foam will be falling out everywhere.

"The helmet is used and has its share of chips and skuffs, the inside lining is loose in places. " :o :o

All this shows to me is that the helmet manufacturers are missing a rather lucrative market for 'normal' helmets that look good.

Yeah well you are right there you can't get many new helmets with out stickers and crap all over them I have a nice plain black road helmet but I wanted a nice plain black full face dirt helmet ended up finding one without to many stickers on it but plain is best. :)
