I've been wanting a pair of flak jackets to replace my half jacket's since the lenses are scratched up and the replacement polarized lenses are over half the cost of just going for a new pair. Remembered I had these in the closet and figured I'd look around to see if they were worth anything to help cover the cost. I guess I didn't realize they discontinued the X-Metal line, and from what I've seen prices are all over the place.
What I can say for sure about them: the coin is dated 1997, the frames are x-metal and the lenses are black iridium. I do have the original box and coin and extra nose pieces and such, but they are in the mail to me since they were in a box at my folks house (which is why no pictures of those yet). I also have the x-metal soft vault, which as pictures show the X is in fair condition...everything else about it is fine. A few scratches on the frame...probably rated around 80-85% (last 2 pictures show scratches that I've seen). Both lenses have slight spider cracks on the top and the right lens has one fair scratch on it...both lenses have other light scratches...I'd guess lenses are 70-75% condition.
Can anyone help give me a rough value for these? I saw some on eBay just sell for $600, two other auctions I'm watching are sitting around $300-350 with 3 days left. Granted I'm not expecting top dollar as I realize these are very much a used pair and in no way pristine or BNIB, but seeing as I really have no idea where to start, any input would be very much appreciated.
