where's the cheapest place for oakley sunglasses?
 
asking coz i'm pissed off looking on ebay and 99% of adverts saying 'i can't gaurantee if these are genuine'

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE FAKE, YOU C**T:mad: sorry for the rant, just really bored trying to find the real mcoy

after some wires (a or square) any one got any cheap outlets?

also has anyone tried the oakley trainers? i like the look of these but have never seen any around. comfy etc?

Had a pair of Square wires , seem to cost about £125 in the uk before any discount. I noticed while in the US they cost the equivilent of about £80 before discount. I changed makes to Bolle.. :)

If you know anyone going to the US.... even the warranty is valid in Europe, for me anyway

as for the shoes, i've got a pair of the oakley flesh shoes (slip on kinda things) about two years old now and still look nearly new, the most comfortable footwear i've had until i got my puma mostros

and i've gone through a fair few pair of sneakers :D

I bought some £300 (high street price) Oakleys from them last summer, cost me about £220 delivered.

In my experience, you're pretty restricted and end up paying list price. That's certainly the case if you want prescription ones (which you can only get from an authorized Oakley dealer).

Hello, Mr Fashion Victim. :) Why are you winding yourself up in this way over a pair of damned sunglasses?

carl 12 April 2005 10:54 PM

I guess because they're pretty damned good sunglasses?

bonkers 13 April 2005 05:42 AM

I said the same thing for a long time Bubba, until I tried a pair of good ones - I haven't looked back since. Love my Maui Jim's!

Way I figure it, I only get one pair of eyes and they're worth looking after.

:cool:

sorry to be dim, but the prices are in us dollars. how does that work when you come to pay online?

Iwan 13 April 2005 07:31 AM

???

If you click on the 'International' link then click on Oakley the prices for each pair is shown in GBP, or at least they are on my PC. Maybe as I'm browsing from a UK ISP?

If you click on the 'Italy' link the prices show up in Euros.

Even if the prices appear in USD, you can just buy on your credit card as normal and your card company will take care of the exchange rate. There's no VAT or import duty as Giarre are based in it Italy so are part of the EU.

I bought these in black/back iridium. :cool:

I've just got mine from here:

http://www.wheelies.co.uk/youatwork/

The link is for a discount scheme we subscribe to at work which will give you a 15% discount off everything they do including their full range of Oakleys. Phone the number on the front page and quote the code shown. They are UK based as well so no worries of getting stung for import duty from the states. They are a bit slower than some dealers as they don't hold a huge stock and order them in specially on a per customer basis. Customer service was good as well with 3 calls from them updating me on my order.
Highly recomended.

Shane 13 April 2005 01:17 PM

Just noticed the number is not on the home page. Just in case its a special number for the discount its 01792 560660
