Whats the cheapest helmet you will buy?

Guy I work with bought an ebay helmet, dot cert. FF for $50, brand new in packaging..Its comfortable as hell(ive worn it, we have the same size head)...Would this hold up the same as a say..$300 helmet?
i would say no...main reason you have no idea what the ebay seller has done with the helmet. I could bang around a helmet and as long as there is no visual damage i could put it in a box and say its brand new.

and in 99% of the time you get what you pay for. 50$ doesn't sound like its quality material.

Personally for me my head is worth more then 50 bucks. I would rather buy something that IK is made of high quality materials. My head is the one place i made sure not to be a cheap skate with
