1997 Vintage Oakley "Romeos" In Kalispell, MT..

Well I picked them up. Not a deal or steal, but I'm happy wih them anyway. They are missing the ear stem rubbers (put some Juliet ones on) and the lenses are trashed but will make a good template. They aren't too loose, but I'm going to see what the Xman can do with them. No serial number, so I'll see if he can do them in a TiO2 finish from the x-metal or if I would need a plasma pair.

Did you have to pay the $225 or did you talk him down because of the condition and the fact they aren't Romeo's?

I paid the $225. He was broke and didn't have a pot to piss in. I felt bad on trying to talk him down. I never did correct him on what model they were.

at the end of the day, with a new lens and tuneup they are still a fair price.

tio2 is optional and will not be part of the exact oem cost...

No but he did say he's going to look into having it done. Either way, still right around going rate for a xx. Not a steal, but not overpriced either

fyi to the buyer, you can opt to have the 24k as well...

Ya, it's still a little steep when you look at all the different options from what you can buy one that is in better shape. It doesn't have a serial or sku so I don't feel bad about turning it into a TiO2, I just don't know if it can be done with a straight x-metal frame. I have a set of Flak XLJ lenses already sitting around that I just have to cut down.
