LOOKING FOR OLD-STOCK OR EX-DEALERS — BUYING VINTAGE OAKLEYS FOR STORE

[16.88studio]

hey everyone —
I run a small online store focused on vintage & archive eyewear, and oakley is a big part of what i do.
I'm currently looking to connect with anyone who either:
• used to work at oakley
• was a rep/dealer
• or knows about old shop stock just sitting somewhere


if you’ve got pieces to sell (or even leads), feel free to dm me or drop a comment. looking for consistent sources, not just one-offs.
thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum…and…ahem…you are talking a legion of collectors who are looking for exactly the same thing for their own collections…and have been for literally years

On the up side once you pass the entry period (or purchase a premium membership) you’ll have access to the exchange area and at least find better prices than eekBay.

Again…welcome

I've been member for some months now. What should I do to pass the entry period ? Thanks for your kindness.

Send us photos of your store. Even if it is just a bunch of boxes. It helps give some credibility.

I admit I don’t have the arrival rules memorized…been here a few years now. I believe it’s 15 useful posts and a couple weeks in the forum. Or if you are a biz and want to stick around…I’d recommend a premium membership and work on being an asset. If you run a vintage eye wear site that focus’ on Oakley you have literally hit the Intel jackpot as long as you become a contributor…IMO. There are multiple successful business here who are active and contributing members.

I’m at 30,000 feet with limited internet so cannot find it for ya and clip and paste (and also why you got such a long response…what else I got to do? ). Hit the FAQ and rules section and read a bit…there are forum rules and exchange rules.

I sympathize with your small biz and goals but we sadly hear this kinda thing often…and your competition is the whole forum of collectors who want exactly the same thing vintage Oakleys at less than robber baron pricing.
