i just got back from meeting a guy who had a set of Jawbones for sale on CraigsList. He wanted $100 for what is described as:
"Selling these Oakleys, they are in perfect, like new condition, comes with a case, and cloth.
$100 or best offer"
I offered $75 and he accepted. Got to the meet, he handed me the case and I instantly smelled something fishy. The case was too light, squished easily. The Glasses felt thin, light... something was off. I checked the lenses, which were grubby but not scratched, then I realized.. These don't have vents... or a HINGE. Pretty accurate Oakley logos, raised lettering for Made in USA and Jawbone inside the stems.
I'm no Oakley pro, I'm not aware of all of the cases, iterations, intricacies, etc. I was excited since I decided my next pair was going to be a Jawbone or Split Jacket, barring any great deals, and I saw these posted today and jumped in with both feet.
He claimed he traded a set of Police Radars for them. I apologized for the news and wished him a good night.
Maybe you guys are sharp enough to call it a fake right off, but I was duped until I had them in hand.
