Why would someone sell two left frog stems, you're probably asking ...

Well here's the story ...

Sometime last year some dude was selling Frogskins' stems on eBay.

They were new and he had a lot of them (my guess is he works for Oakley and is probably a member of this forum.)

I figured what the heck, might be fun to have a pair and see how they look by swapping.

So I ordered a pair.

When I got them - they were two identical left stems ...

So I e-mailed the guy and it turns out they were his last pair and he didn't realize he did this.

(I can't help wonder if there's some other guy out there with two right stems, but anyways ...)

He apologized and offered me a full refund if I mail them back, or a partial refund if I kept them.

I didn't want to be bothered with mailing them back so I got back most of my money.

Not sure if anyone can use these?

They're polished clear and they have a very slight purple hue to them, but for the most part they look clear.

If you look at my second picture, the hinges look smaller then the current ones.

I think they're from the first run of the plastic hinges - not 100% though ...

They're brand new.

$10.00 via PayPal gift - includes First Class shipping anywhere within the USA.

Once again, you get two identical left stems ...

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. I thought they were because I bought them from an ebay "trusted seller" and he had a lot of positive feedback and sold a lot of Oakley stuff ...

Not sure if anyone has come across hinges that look like this?

Maybe thye're 1 of a kind prototypes that never made it to production!

Price bump ... $1,000.00!!!

:laugh:

o.k. 3 weeks and these are still unsold ...

so I figured I'd give some ideas as to what someone can use two left stems for ...

1. Swap out your left stem only for a truly unique look ...

2. Use them as tongs when eating olives out of the jar ...

3. Use them as paddles for your parrot's canoe ...

4. Sharpen them and use them as a true Oakley fanatic's toothpick ...

5. Makes an awesome conversation piece on your coffee table!

6. Spread butter on your bagel with em ...

7. Drill a hole in them for a true Oakley keychain ... (take that Q!)

8. Cause you're so dam rich and have nothing better to spend 10 bucks on ...

9. It's Saturday and you're still hungover, so you can't think clearly ...

10. Cause if I don't sell these, I'm gonna kill myself, and you wouldn't want that on your conscience, so please, save a life ...
