I saw a very local (20 minute drive round trip) listing for a pair of Plasma/Emerald Juliets for $260. After some chatting I got down to $220. Judging from the pictures they looked pretty nice.
So we met this afternoon and I was surprised when he revealed quite an abused pair of Juliets! Now, I use mine for everything from fly fishing to range glasses, but these things were in bad shape. Luckily the frame looks okay, but the lenses are faded, bubbled and peeling and I have NEVER seen such a worn out nosebridge EVER. I looked and I don't see any rubber at all on the right eye's orbital. Talk about slop! X-MAN these need some love!
I was disappointed at first but luckily I talked him down to $180 because of these things so I picked him up. No box, but he did have the coin.
So, was $180 a good deal for me? I had a pair of new LG lenses already so all I'm thinking is $80 for a blast and nosebridge tightening so that'll put me at $260.
