Saddlebag lids are one of the more difficult items to buy used, unless you're not fussy about condition. They get scraped with boots and scratched very easily. Advanblack's lids are compatible with OEM bags. You might try that route. Or just open your wallet and buy a new lid from Harley. It's only one lid. Might be more than you had hoped to spend, but would be hassle-free.
I went down the road of trying to get full disclosure of condition with eBay sellers. I finally just decided to replace both bags with a set from Advanblack and started fresh.
