Ebay, brother. And it was new (or, at the most, very very lightly used -- I sure couldn't tell).
It's easy to make excuses, but excuses don't make champions.

Regarding the start of the OP's thread: "My LG Rocket is old and probably causes more drag than it eliminates..."
So I'm currently using the LG Rocket and don't have plans to replace it. It fits well for me (comfort wise) and works well with my position (the tip lays against my back when riding so there is no real gap there). How much better are the newer aero helmets over the LG Rocket? Just marketing or is there a measurable gain to a plain old AG'r?

So what's the lowest actual retail-online price (NOT ebay!) for an inexpensive but legit aero helmet?

Yep, your wiseacre answer didn't add anything to the discussion whatsoever. I've looked on Google and amazon, and have yet to see a $65 aero helmet.

Bell Javelin as well. Picked it up on sale at an LBS near the end of last season and raced with it. I tried a few and it seemed to work best for my riding position. The Javelin is bit heavier than other models, but I found it to be pretty comfortable and easy to adjust.
The Giro Advantage is a nice helmet, and once it's on your head feels nice and snug...but damn, trying to get it over your ears is a bitch.
From tests (or experience), is it best to have the tail lie flat against your back, or to look slightly down and up and have the top (front to tail) perpendicular to the road?
