    So are you asking for advise as to what to buy or are you asking if there is a second hand helmet on offer somewhere ???.

    Go to a shop and just try any on and find one that fits your head and is in your price range. Any reputable shop around can sell you a bike with a few good standards to its name.

    For a cheap helmet the best place I found was Botany Honda. They've got HJC helmets from about 150 up.

    DO NOT EVER BUY A 2nd HAND HELMET!!!!!

    your only have one head and helmets are FUCKED when they are dropped or had an impact and can look perfectaly fine on the outside still and dont ever buy the cheapest there ask and see what it is like cheap isnt always good pay for nothing get nothing pay abit more and youl still be alive.

    Yeah I would never buy a second hand helmet,just wanted to see if anyone had a new one sitting around for a good price.

    I'll head to the bike shop to get me one.

    Bullshit!

    I've only ever had one bike accident and it was on a scooter.
    Car in front stopped and I didn't.
    Scooter front wheel ended up under the car, and I landed on the boot with my face making contact with the roof.
    Cracked the enamel in my front teeth, and cos I'm old now front tooth is now broken.

    Get yourself a NEW good fitting FULL FACE helmet.
