you can buy all the stuff to make those flight cases to your own specification, but $50 seems like a good price!

It's true that you get what you pay for...one of the instuctors at my school, who is a tour manager told me about a guitarist he worked with a few years back. He had just bought a new guitar to tour with....that cost about $8000.
What kind of case did he put it in? Some crappo $89 hardcase that wasn't even built for that guitar. What happened when he opened the case after getting it off the plane?
Cried, because his new guitar was in 6 pieces. Sad, but true. Why he bought an $8000 guitar to use on tour I have no idea. And why that $8000 guitar didn't come with it's own custom hard case, is beyond me.

Not saying that an MPC will break in 6 pieces at all, but the moral of the story is you get what you pay for...

on second look at the ebay page, it looks like it'd be work the extra $20 for the Full ATA upgrade...those round corners won't break open if someone drops it hard on concrete...not too sure about the boxy corners...
