Fink's Luggage
http://www.finksluggage.com/sale.html

24" superlight olive $179 (expandable $307, if you want this try to negotiate)
http://www.finksluggage.com/u524s.html

26" superlight $251 (expandable $342)
28" superlight $300 (I would not buy expandable 28)

There are a few Andiamo Valoroso pieces. This used to be an absolutely top notch quality line. If you like a price, buy without fear. However, the company is out of business, so no warranty.

London Luggage
http://www.londonluggage.com/bryu28s.htm

24" superlight $239
26" superlight $259
28" superlight $291

Call both. As I said, you can try to make deals. For example, make it clear you are ready to buy and ask for their lowest package price for all three (24", 26", 28" superlights). Or make your starting offer in $500-$600 range. (Free shipping and, if you want, monogramming are pretty standard too.)

If you need a carry-on too, 20" is generally accepted everywhere. By contrast 22" may prove less acceptable.

Thanks for the link! Just filled a void in my collection with a 24" baseline. I ordered online but hopefully it arrives before my flight on January 1st.
