Travel Products - Good Tumi price?

I am wondering what is a decent price for a 26160?

Any drawbacks to buying off eBay? I cannot afford the full price of buying retail, but $200 might be doable.

TIA

With ebay if you are 100% sure it is authentic it can be a steal, its just theres always a nagging question of if it is real or not for me. Maybe keep an eye on stores like bloomingdales who will sometimes have it on sale and have coupons to make it even cheaper. I dont know of any now but they do come up.

Keep an eye out for deals. There was a groupon earlier this month. Might even want to check craigslist if you live in a large city.

Sign up for Rue La La, there's a conga line on here somewhere. They usually have Tumi on there once/quarter. I just picked mine up that way.

Not exactly what you are looking for but some great stuff at a good deal.

I have purchased Tumi off ebay before at a significant discount -- look for items with slight wear, missing should straps, older versions etc. for the best deals.

Also look for sellers that offer returns, that way you will have a few days to check it out and return if it isn't authentic.

I don't see any 26160 on ebay that are "steals" right now, but there are similar ones at very reasonable prices:
