Do you buy your Oakleys on ebay, Why / Why not?

[alol]

Just treat as another avenue of acquisition tbh. I have probably acquired more off Ebay than anywhere else, If as others have alluded to, You do your due diligence checks then its possible to acquire the right piece at the right price. Obviously not sure of your level of experience, Probably assume it's nearer the start of the learning curve but hey we've all got to start somewhere!

One thing to enquire about if buying X Metal's ( other than Romeo 1) is always ask how much flex there is in the Coupler (Nosebridge) as its a) a relatively straightforward procedure if you have experience, but b) daunting/expensive & potentially ruinous to do if you dont.

And don't think it will be just Ebay sellers who won't disclose this. The last pair I bought off here were probably the worst I've experienced in over 2 decades of collecting/Trading X Metal's. Fortunately I'm confident & adept at carrying out the repair......

Lucky for you, and you should keep it that way



No, kidding aside..... @Inkkoonce is a good forum member who lives in Norway.
And him and i have a lot of playful banter back and forth.

And Kato is a Oakley model........... google them at your own risk

I only got three Katos now! The rest of them are in Denmark! Y’all love Katos down there

I like eBay because of their auctions. You can get some good deals if you’re looking good enough. Most of what I have came from eBay.

Plenty fakes on there. More now than ever. Had to learn to what to look for in the models I buy.

So tell me, how do i know if an Oakley seller on ebay is "reputable" or legit or whatever you want to call it? I use ebay all the time so for me
it`s just another day on ebay and i am planning to buy my Oakleys there. Let me know your thoughts please, i am 100% new to this game..

There's a lot of fake oakleys on ebay, be careful.

Most are obvious, if you've done your research, beforehand. For any others you're not sure of, there's here, o-review or any genuine Facebook site.

90% of my Xmetals came from Ebay. I never knew auctions had Oakleys until this year. Ebay has stupid prices and I was stupider to buy them. I learned my lesson, go to auctions and then flip them like everyone else does.

I buy from reputable sellers on eBay like @Zone Optics

Otherwise do your homework on how to spot fakes
