Get what you pay for

I am wondering if I am the only one that is under the impression that what I pay for as of late is not what I had in mind when I purchased the item.
Case in point.
I buy a used helmet from someone off Ebay.
The item says
Nolan N102 m
Perfect condition

What I got was a Nolan N102 xs
That smells like it was used as an ashtray
I bought some beautiful Graves exhaust cans.
The surprize
Well, two lefts anyway.
Gorgeous LSL flat bars
The surprize
Cut down one inch on each end
The helmet size was not m for medium in the title. the "m" was a misprint and If I wanted to know the size I should have asked.
I have had more run ins with items that I found different than my expectations and need to ask way more questions in the future. Or pay better attention to the descriptions.

well, if it sound too good to be true...then usually it isn't true...

but yes, I've been lucky so far, you should ask for better pics and check the pics and description with great atention

I seem to do well on Ebay. Picked up a new Shark S900. Unworn and still labelled up, for £100 collected. Right size, colour and was indeed brand new.

It's replacing my R1 colour schemed Arai.

Difference between used and new items in Ebay is not worth effort in 90% of cases (if not more). There is another rule to remember:
You buy and pay once, it's a moment. Then you live and use the thing for a long time. Which one is more important?

Personally, never been happier with the all the things for which I (felt I) have paid too much They are high-end items usually and they make you smile each time you use them. Even after a years! So sometimes it better to forget mentality of purchase manager and remember this is YOU you buy these things for and YOU have to live with them

PS. And never been unhappier with items I got 20€ under the market price

The LSL drag bars need cutting down anyway, so you've saved yourself a job.

Just remember two lefts don't make a right.

Was wondering how you made out with the exhaust can's,,,guess you have to buy a , right can,,,,does suck however,,and yes the bar's need to be cut down,but , I think 1 1/2 on each end would be better,,,my helmet purchases have gone well IMO as I recieved a "worn once' Scorpion 700,,nice helmet BTW,,for a winning bid of $60,didn't smell,,perfect,,as new,,and the same for an Icon Domain,,worn once,,as new ,,$100,,,question is DD,,"do you feel lucky today"
