DB - I agree with you. But is it instigating a debate to say "Never buy or trust a used helmet" or to say:
"While that might be good advice in general.........NEVER is a LONG time.
And suggesting that a specific individual who you do NOT know might be selling/giving away helmets that are ........tainted, is at the very least RUDE.
If you just couldn't resist the urge to convey that opinion, it could have been done in a private message. :poke2:"

If you don't agree with what I said, or you can't withhold a comment, why don't you then post "IMHO, there are some few times where buying a used helmet might be appropriate and OK" and then explain yourself, instead of going off and telling the original poster that he has no etiquette or manners or common sense, etc. because he may be insulting someone else he doesn't know and his tainted cooties? That's the kind of crap on here that has to stop - practice what you preach, don't be so quick to criticize or just have to post something no matter what it adds to the discussion.
And IMHO, the only helmet I would buy used is one that is still in the box, was worn maybe once or twice, had absolutely no visible marks anywhere on it, and fit perfectly. Otherwise, you want it, you can have it. :bang:
This is not only beating a dead horse, the discussion is falling on deaf ears.
