It might be worth it to someone without the time or materials/welding skills to build their own...

It is a fairly straight forward design. Hard to tell the quality of the welds or powder coat (or is that paint?). In the end, it comes down to the style. There are some great deals for about that price on e-bay that many folks are enjoying. If you like the way it looks, then I say do it, but if were only doing this for the price, there are other options online for you.

The hoop looks weak. Like it would bend easy...
