New luggage is never worth the price IMO, even on sale. I don't like paying money for something someone is literally going to chuck on and off a plane.
I've purchased all of mine at yard sales. I prefer spinners over 2-wheelers, they make a ton of difference, but aside from that, I just get what's cheap and if (when!) it gets mangled or the zippers break, I won't be heartbroken. I also decorated my handles and luggage tag with a holographic ribbon to make it more visible (my last suitcase was navy, not exactly a stand-out!) and did the corners of my mom's hard-side spinner with zebra duct tape from the dollar store.
The only requirement I have for my secondhand luggage is that it's as light as possible so I can fit more stuff in it!
