I don't believe I shouted at this guy. Just trying to make the basics known.
Sorry, grouchy old me.
Ha ha ! Thanks to all you guys ! I feel most welcome now ! (special thanks to Batwolf)
Ironically , it was only by chance that they were my glasses and that I knew they were genuine items ! , I could very easily have posted someoneelse's ebay ad and enquired if they were fakes in the wrong section ! ha ha! (it's definately allowed on UK forums (or possibly overlooked/ignored) ... it's you USA dudes ...I'm just glad I'm not being sued ! ... (please don't sue me over my own glasses , I'm sure there's a USA Law that would allow this ! haha!)
I'll put my "new member" voice here as I think it's apt: (Yes , I know it's in the wrong thread ...AGAIN!) ... Sorry
I moved to the USA (Florida) 20 years ago and couldn't believe the sunshine ! So I went to a top sunglass shop and chose the ones I liked (expensive) ... I had no idea at the time that they were Oakleys ... I literally lived in them for the next 10 years (we are severley deprived of sunshine in the UK)
10 years ago , whilst on a Carribean Cruise (having forgot to pack my sunglasses (Oakley 00 wires , apparently ) , a new friend lent me his Juliets for the entire holiday ! I fell in love so badly , I found them so addictive ! (but he wouldn't sell me them !)
Upon my return , I immediately purchased my own set of plasma fire Juliets for £200 tax free (RRP £235) ... I have loved and cherished them every day for 10 years , wore them every day , regardless of lack of sunshine (they are a cure for a hangover , I'm sure) , I've dropped them , fell off boats,cliffs with them on , slept many full nights of sleep with them on ! , swam in them ... etc.etc. They have never been back to Oakley for a rebuild and sport their original lenses ...
Last year (after a HUGE win on the geegees ) I treated myself to a Custom set of Juliets from Oakley UK ... polished hammerstem polarised Ice , inscripted with "jonathan james" along with blue unobtanium all round (£330) (just before the price increase) ... Although they look AWESOME , I hated the view of the world through them ! So continued to wear my old fire plasma !
Just 2 weeks ago , whilst on holiday in the French Riviera , the left lens torx screw fell out of my plasma and I took it as a sign to buy some new ones ... easier said than done ! ... I found that they have been discontinued ! ... whilst strolling Ebay , I found some polarised,polished fire brand new for £250 (instead of £340) ... so I obviously hit "buy-it-now") ... they turned out to be rotton 2nds/returns/ with a worse nose bridge than my 10 year old plasma and completely twisted frames , no tags or warranty card and a battered box ! (check my feedback for the seller)
I have returned them , obviously ... Unfortunately , as I was eagerly awaiting my spanking new polished fire , I ebayed my old plasma (to offset the cost) ... SO ALL IS LOST !
HOWEVER , (maybe because there is a GOD) , I have just purchased the VERY,VERY LAST SET OF UK FIRE IRIDIUM PLASMA FOR £250 (Instead of £300) from a genuine well known Oakley UK Authorised dealer (box seal still in tact) and I got £140 for my old ones on Ebay ! wahooooooo ! That means that I wore one of the best sunglasses in the world for just £6 ($8) per year !
The blues will stay in my (very small "collection") and I'm looking forward to a decade of wearing brand new fire plasma ! (and considering their discontinuation , my new ones are obviously depreciation-proof ! ... If I get good money for my 00 Wires , then they were kind of "free"
Objectively , I have worn Oakleys , every day for 20 years (whether I knew it or not!) , and now I have a 2nd pair (blue for display purposes only) ... so I would like to join your club !
I conquer that I am a rank amateur compared to you guys (and this has really helped in shutting the missus up!) , but there's nothing I don't know about long term wearing of plasma Juliets !
All my love to you all ... JJ
PS. I'm crap on my PC , I get lost in forums , I don't understand "sticky" and I don't think I even want to know what a "shelf whore" is ... Sorry
