Kirkland 27" for $49.97
I picked up a 27" Kirkland Signature suitcase on clearance for $49.97 today. Seems to be well made, but even if it only lasts a year I'm $$ ahead.
I got the last one at my Costco so check out your local store if you're interested.

How much does that bag weigh empty? I'm really afraid of bags that are that large as they tend to be heavy and it is way too easy to go over 50 pounds.
In any case, thanks for posting as some folks may want this bag for car trips.

Saw a dusty beat up one with the product brochure still attached at the Spokane Costco on Hwy 2 a couple of weeks ago.
Generally though, these two wheelers are being replaced with the four wheels spinner variants. Looks the same just two more wheels and feels maybe a scosh lighter.

I've had this bag for a few years now. The bag is very durable, but it definitely is very heavy. I always end up having to shift a few things around to stay under the 50 pound limit when I pack the bag completely full. Depending on what you're packing, it can be very easy to go over 50. I'm actually in the process of looking for a lighter replacement for this bag, as it kind of defeats the purpose of having a big bag if you have to worry about packing it to the brim.
