Harley Boots on eBay Legit?
My wife is looking for Harley-Davidson brand motorcycle boots. She has been telling me about deals she is running across on eBay for new HD boots at anywhere from one half to one fourth of what similar boots are selling for in dealerships.
Right away my "too good to be true" alarm started to go off. Can people other than Harley dealerships sell Harley boots? If they're the real deal, why so cheap?
Here is an example:

My money is on counterfeit. Your thoughts?

There is tons of knockoffs and fakes and since buying my bike last june..I've learned a lot about how Ebay is.
In Canada Deeley up the price 30% minimum and then the dealer adds too. NWOT new without tags in my opnion are the knockoffs forsure and make sure you read the feedback..98.6% positive feedback...WHY??.
Living in Canada makes the US dealer prices way better than the dealers here in Canada so saving over 400 bucks on 2 leather coats buying them out of ebay, but we bought them from the House of Harley Davidson and the Maui Harley.
IMO chances are that they are used boots or stolen somewhere along the way, but I could be wrong..I've been wrong before lol

They could be last years model they don't make any more. If you're looking for some good prices on HD boots go to:

They have good pricing on LOTS of outdoor and surplus items!

Legit! As mentioned, you are protected if you use PayPal. I have purchased lots of 'barely used' Harley jackets, boots, etc. thru EBay without any issues. All for maybe 25% of Harley retail. SJ Ron

A couple of years ago I got a pair of new HD boots from ebay for $30, so there are deals out there.
I saw Harley boots in a Sears store. Could be they were discontinued items. Sears also sells Wolverines, who makes boots for Harley.
