So you buy a frame 270
Tune up and refinish 100
Lens 100
Rubbers 30

Easy 500 and does not come with box or coin

Haha, I've done this math many times... It's expensive to get the pair you want! Totally worth it though

True. But I'm thinking on selling my Plasma/Ice J's and those lenses have been tucked away. The current lenses have been raked. I saved/made money by doing so.

A mint pair for $200 is cheaper than a beat up pair for $50, without question.

However, taking pleasure in resurrecting a neglected pair... Priceless.

Well said!! I done this with a pair I found on CL and it was a lot of fun to watch the transformation!

ummm.. i'm selling replacement custom cut Oakley lenses for less than that $100 price tag shipped in the exchange for selected colours

refinish is only needed if you want to restore it; otherwise a tune up is all you need.
