New sunglasses

Karl · 19-07-2007, 20:56

yo!

I've currently got a pair of Oakley Square Wires that I've treated as though they were made of feathers for around 5 or 6 years now, and they're these:

However, I don't think they suit me anymore, and I reckon I could do with a change of style.

What do you reckon I could get for them if I sold them on Fleabay?

I'm not trying to con anybody on this forum, so I'm 100% truthful when I say that they're in *exactly* the same condition as when I got them first hand.

Any help's appreciated, as I'm looking to get shot of them before I go on me jollies really.

Cheers,

Karl.

If you do put them on ebay, make sure you really push the fact they're GENUINE. So many fakes around on there it's unreal.

As to their worth, I've no idea I'm afraid.

I've seen a brand new pair for £86, and there's another pair (exactly the same) that have some minor marks on the lenses, but they have a starting bid of £10. Not good news considering I paid £170 odd for them, even though it was a long time ago!

Nice geps ...

I bought a pair of genuine 1980s Ray Ban Wayfarers last week for £40, quite a bargain as they are rare ....

Desmo is spot on if you are going to push them on the bay but as to the price I have no idea.

7 hours remaining on this guy's sunnies, and that price is dreadful. I'm watching it though, so I'll see what happens. If he doesn't get over forty quid, I'll probably just keep them as a spare pair because they're really quite decent. They have polarised lenses, they're really comfortable, and they're in perfect condition!

I didn't realise that sunglasses lost their value quite so badly!

3 people bidding on those. They'll go past £40 but not by much I reckon, unless somebody gets carried away.

Have you got any pictures of the pair? I'd be interested but I don't know what I'd look like in them so I'd have to track down a pair to try on somewhere

I'll let you know when I get some spare time to go to a retailer with a pair of those going.

Finished at £38. Not bad I suppose.

I don't know if that style has gone out of fashion or not, but as has been said with so many dodgy copies kicking around on eBay it's difficult to value things properly.
