Hello from Toronto, Canada (Old O-Review member...)

If you're curious, here's what I asked in the value thread:

--------------
Hello everyone. I'm a long time Oakley collector (from the O-Review days) but I'm fairly new on this board.

What is is a pair of original Ichiro 51 Signature Juliets polished with emerald slate iridium worth these days?

Recent photos are here:


A few notes:

– All-original lenses are near-as-perfect as I can tell.
– Frames have been handled and worn maybe a dozen times. Near-mint condition.
– Hinges and nose bridge are factory tight.
– Frames are CAN/US model, non-serialized.
– Includes extra hinge and nosepiece rubber, Juliet coin, box, foam intact.
– Box has the sticker/barcode removed.

I understand these are not as collectable as the serialized frames. The box with the missing sticker/barcode also puzzled me for a while. Now, reflecting upon it, I bought these in 2005 from a local optician who was selling Oakley product on the side. He sold me all of my Oakley display items (cube, display stands, etc.) and these Juliets. You can see my post archived on O-Review from 2005 where I asked the community about their authenticity:


Anyway, having owned several pairs of Juliets over the years, I am absolutely certain these are authentic, all-original frames and lenses. I suppose the non-serialized frames and missing sticker/barcode from the box make my pair less desirable as a collectable item, but I believe they still have value.

Any input as to what these are worth these days? Maybe US$500?
I don't think you are far off on value.
