Default too cheap?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HARLE...ht_3281wt_1165

So I was wondering if anybody has seen this or heard of anybody who's gotten these. They just seem too cheap.

It's Buffalo leather, which means it's like patch work, so not a solid piece construction. It will most likely be softer than regular full grain leather as well.

I just took a look at the e-bay ad and the seller has 100 % positive feedback so,they
must be worth the money or the seller would have at least one complaint. For the money it seems like it may be worth it however they may not be of the best quality but for the money why not try em and let the rest of us know.

Almost appears to be patchwork leather, which means it was made with leather scraps. For that kind of money it's gotta be or not real leather at all.

My buddy bought a similar set a couple of years ago. Not bad for the money, but you get what you pay for.

for the money that many bags cant be too bad... as said you get what you pay for but if you used them on certain trips only i could see them being worth the money... I dont think i would buy them for an everyday bag

It seems the consensus is exactly what I thought... too cheap.
