I received my eBay 3pc TravelPro set today. It consists of a 21" roller, laptop brief, and passport wallet. It is a slight step down from the normal TravelPro quality but still has screws instead of seams. It's definitely acceptable for the price and I guess the TravelPro name and warranty are a plus. It's a "3 Piece Business Set" and is packaged/labeled as such. The model number for the set is "MC500-01". It's also listed as Made In China (is all TravelPro made there now?). It was brand new with tags and came sealed in a TravelPro/Austin House/Atlantic box.

I really don't think it's a fake of any kind, but I'm thinking this is made/marketed for a market other than the USA. Either way, I'm happy with it, especially for the price.

Anyone who has more info on identifying this line, I'd be interested to hear from you.

It's interesting that I haven't as-of-yet been able to identify the line, but the seller has great feedback on alot of other similar brand-name items and none have been called out as fake. Is Travelpro even a brand that gets knocked off?
