oakley juliet glasses second hand value

[Trustmeimadoctor]

im shocked they are going for huge amounts and i have no idea why i have 2 pairs one fire iridium a a pair of ducati. The ducati ones seem to go anywhere up to about £500 a pair and any others about £100+ the worlds gone bloody crazy to pay that for old sunglasses

I've been an Oakley fan for many years, but wouldn't say I'm a collector as such, despite having 6 pairs... I just buy new ones that I like, but keep the old ones. I have an original pair of X-Metal Mars with ruby lenses in near pristine condition from 1995, that I have been offered silly money for.

The value seems to depend on the frame and lens combination, some were particularly rare and exact spares are no longer available.

Similar situation here. Not a collector but I have got loads of sunglasses and bags/clothing as I used to be on the old friends and family scheme back when UK HQ and warehouse was in Letchworth.

I have a pair of Juliets with spare lenses that I rarely wear now but didn't realise they were so collectable.

Just wish I could find a pair of Monster Pups as I lost mine. Annoying, as I rarely lose things.

I have the X-Metal Juliets with the Ruby lenses which were part of the X-Men tie in with only 5000 pairs produced. The serial on mine is below the 200 mark and I was amazed to see how much they go for these days.

I'm going to put mine up this weekend as I can't wear them as I need prescription lenses now

[lemmingjames]

youll realistically get closer to £200 if they are in good condition, id ignore the ones that are higher priced as theyve always been there and never sold.

I missed out on a pair of the original over the top glasses by a £5 on ebay, wish i just bid more for it now but there you go.

I was looking at sold items

[anonymous-user]

I sold a few pairs of old ones on eBay and was inundated with morons emailing me telling me they were fakes and asking me why I was selling them. I even had one fool telling me he know one pair were fake as they" didn't make the colour scheme" I was selling. I even had to get an email from Oakley confirming that combo was made.

It seems to be the kind of market that attracts lots of know it alls and time wasters.

I had a pair stolen from a car of mine at a reputable dealer. Very upset to see how much they had increased in value....

[AshBurrows]

Damn, 90s IT guy must be 2016s hottest look. These prices are crackers.

[Oakey]

I bought an ex a pair of these and she sold them a few years go for £70

If anyone has titanium or matt silver frames with emerald lenses they wish to sell let me know, ive been trying to find a pair in good condition for a while now.

I've got pairs of the X metal Romeos and Juliets.

The value of the Romeos is they were cast (and I think for Juliets also) so the guy at an Oakley store said in Vegas when he saw my Romeos.

Fortunately I've got the boxes, and coins for them- not that I want to sell, but they do seem to be going up in value, year on year.

[soad]

What do you mean coins for them?!

[Don1]

Top of the boxes have a metal disk 'coin' with an X on them.

I have a simple one, but others are quite ornate.
