21 year wait over for a Romeo 1

Thanks to @mjt42 i finally have a Romeo to call my own and take the matching Juliet out on dates.

Congrats! They look to be in great condition.

They certainly are, without getting a microscope out id say they’re as good as new.

The only downside is they no longer cost $170 from that original receipt haha.

 

[SpliceD]

If it makes you feel any better, $170 on 2004 is $227.40 today.

Also, $170 must have been a sale price as i believe the MSRP on R1's was $250. That's $334.41 adjusted for inflation. I'm still sure you paid more than $334.41, but that's OK. Money is money and as long as you don't have a massive amount of debt and have expendable income, what good is it if you don't use it?

 

[RicHockney]

Haha yeah they were a little more. Like you said, there is no point earning money if you don’t spend/enjoy it. You can’t take it with you but you can be buried with your Oakleys on

Congrats! They look good. Sure don’t make them like they use to.
