As the title says I am looking for something dirt cheap that has to last only one overseas trip. As I am bringing in lots of stuff - basically moving my parents here - it needs to be lightweight, so I guess softsided. The wheels I could buy separately or on the bag/luggage itself. Any places to look for these at rock bottom prices? I'd highly appreciate answers before Monday (*should have thought earlier to ask here*)
I am thiking of looking at Spadina/China Town area...

With cheap luggage, the zipper is usually not that great, so you might want to invest in some luggage straps. Forget about handles and wheels - those things will probably snap off during baggage handling.

I suggest checking Valua Village or Salvation Army and seeing if there is anything good there...

Find out what the airlines max dimensions are and find some cardboard boxes in that size. It's what I used when moving to Canada from UK.
