Hi! New member here thought I'd tell you my background with Oakley's.
;TLDR I'm going to be looking for a member who wants to sell some Electric Blue XX's
Well growing up, particularly in Boy Scouts, the ultimate "status symbol" was having a pair of real Oakley's, which none of us could afford. We had Foakleys, Orkleys, and other knock off, often from 3rd world and Latin American countrys.
Well as I became a teenager, with a driver's license, I'd visit malls. And I went to the Oakley's kiosk, and would ooo, and aah, at the beautiful Oakley's, and I knew I had to have one.
It was a $130 pair of Electric Blue Oakley's Minutes. I was making about $6.40 an hour at a grocery store, so I worked over 20 hours, to finally come up with the money.
I thought they were the greatest clothing accessory I had ever bought. Fast forward 4 years later, and I found out all that time I had worn them, the Minutes were slightly too small for my head. One of the parts of the sunglasses, through repeated use and misfitment, fatigued, and cracked and broke off.
I bought some nearly identical, but slightly larger Electric Blue XX's, but I haven't seen them in years. I'd really like to have a pair again. They might be in some obscure corner of our house in Missouri, but I just don't want to go scouring the household looking for them.
I joined this forum so maybe, when I get sufficient privileges, the fine members of this community, can help me find, and purchase, a beautiful pair of Electric Blue Oakley XX's. Thanks for your help.
