But how can the $60 you paid possibly be enough to cover the cost of materials of this "quality" helmet as well as marketing costs, testing costs, licensing fees, eBay fees, shipping fees, etc. and still make the seller money? The true cost of such product is probably under $10 (if that) from a mass producer overseas. You may need to re-evaluate the worth of your head my friend as I think you are the one misinformed.

i bought both of my Shark helmets brand new off eBay. The RSX was my favorite, but it had to do its job. there are deals on eBay, usually close outs from old inventory.
