How old is 'nearly new'?

Nearly new to my way of thinking is less than six months old, maybe a year, depending on the perceived longevity of the item.
The life span of a helmet is what? 5 years?? so then six months is nearly new, but all being said and done, it's still used/second hand!

Just another way of muddying the waters. Why not say the age like six months or whatever. Nearly new implies 2 or 3 weeks old to me but means nothing. I feel it's like when people say never seen rain. Is there no windows in the garage? JJH
No you're not being thick as 3 years old is not nearly new
Yes you are being thick because that's not what the buyer claimed

Do you love someone enough to buy them a second hand helmet?
You are,however,being thick by thinking that a pillion only needs lower rated or lesser equipment than the rider does.
Unless,of course,you'd be searching ebay for a 'nearly new' helmet for your own daily use.

The 3 year old helmet sold for £400!

As to second hand for pillion.. If you have a partner who is not sure if she wants to ride that much, but wants to have the comms between helmets and you already have a BMW helmet, then it's a lot to pay for what may only be a handful of rides per year, and yes, you only need to fall off once, then a helmet that is a couple of months old and worn a handful of times is very tempting.
I doubt she will be on the back of the bike this year, so gives us time to save up.
