What? What???

 

[menschmaschine]

Wow. I guess the only peoplewearing them will be the ultimate douches... mid-life crisis men in 2-seater convertible sports cars.

I buy the $10 Jerk-mart ones and when I inevitably lose or break them, buy another pair.

 

[annasdadhockey]

I don't pay any more than 10 bucks for sunglasses. i have literally owned a pair of sunglasses for 15 minutes before losing them.

 

[CDbrews]

those are completely pointless!!! sadly, some people have nothing better to spend their money on, just think how much brewing equipment could be bought with that much $$$!!!

 

[Nova5]

I bought a set of Oakley's half jackets 3-4 years ago and still have them. Wallyworld ones... I lost like 10-15 over the years.

Strange but ya pay more for it, you tend to watch out more for it. but 4 grand... or even 1.5 for the aluminum ones is just... bonkers.

 

[homebrewer_99]

For 4 grand they better swallow...

 

[menschmaschine]

Maybe they can see through time.

I was thinking the same thing

 

[McKBrew]

Maybe they can see through time.

Or at least through clothing!

The most I have spent on a pair of sun glasses was $25, and they ended up not being as comfortable as I first thought and the lens got tiny scratches all over them whenever I cleaned them. Threw them out two weeks after buying them

 

[forcera]

I wish I could buy the $25 pairs. The last pair I bought was about 4 years ago and they were $520.01, yeah $.01 off. They are a really nice air of prescription Ray Bans. I wear them just about every day. It is true when you pay more for something you take better care of it. However I would never spend $4000 on sunglasses, that's just crazy.

 

[ytsejam]

But you get free shipping!

 

[Parker36]

DO they cure blindness?

 

[McKBrew]

Maybe they are the high tech version of beer goggles.

 

[jmendez29]

Those sunglasses are for people who have more money than brains/common sense.

Better give you Scott Summers powers.








Anyone?

 

[menschmaschine]

No, those glasses are only $0.99!

 

[Bokonon]

I like how the aluminum ones say "Limit one per customer. While quantities last."

Like someone is going to stockpile them

Good 'Ole Lazer Eyes from X-Men!

I could buy an entire bicycle made out of carbon fiber for $4000! I can't see how sunglasses made out of carbon fiber should be that expensive. Maybe its the tungsten...

I think Oakleys (and higher priced sunglasses for that matter) are a rip-off anyway. Unless the lens material is something special...and I don't buy that Oakley's "iridium" lens are anything special.

I also subscribe to the cheap sunglasses philosophy....if you are even somewhat active, sooner or later those sunglasses will get broken or lost.

Winnar!! Glad I'm not the only one

Until I re-read your post and noticed that you said PRESCRIPTION sunglasses, I thought YOU were pretty crazy too! :cross:

 

[JohnnyO]

My wedding ring was $9.00. To pay $4,000 for a pair of sunglasses is just absolutely ridiculous. I want to get a list of all the people that buy these and have them all encased in carbonite.

I have what I thought was a ridiculous price for sunglasses. $160 for a pair of Maui Jims. They are amazing sunglasses, and were well worth the money 3 years ago.

$4,000. I think I may have just pooped.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Good god, at least tell me that they're Z-87.

Not sure if you looked at this option but I bought my glasses with custom sunglasses that attach magnetically. They came as a set so they are almost undetectable as clip ons. Polarized too. Glasses and sunglasses were around $350. I just got new polarized lenses since the old ones were scratched up. $60 later I'm back in business.

Those are pure AWESOME and worthy only of a quadruple collar pop. I am thinking Yellow, Green, Purple, and PINK.

They'd need slits in the lenses to make them worthy of that color combo pop

 

[HighPlainsDrifter]

You have to remember that they come with a really nice bedazzled carrying case. The perfect bling to go in your Prada.

I'll have to say that I bet my FIL will buy a pair. He likes the best and will pay for it ( and he can afford it).
