I was really hoping $850 would be the asking price, I’d probably consider picking up a pair, but $2300 is just way outside my range I’d be willing to pay (either 1 or 2 pairs doesn’t matter). I can buy a lot of other stuff (glasses or life stuff) for $2300.

The other thing I am thinking is this is Lux…I am curious to see how they screw up this release…will their employees buy a bunch so there is less for the general public? Will they release them at a time that isn’t convenient so scalpers buy them up? Will the quality control have issues and these will be non-refundable? On the positive side I am glad they are bringing these back, just frustrated it’s difficult for everyday people who have been asking lux to bring them back, to actually get a pair.
 
Yes because that's the exact same thing I was saying in my post.

Is that not what you were saying? Oakley should make them cheaper so “regular” people can buy them?

It’s a limited release of a highly sought after pair that’s been out of production for 20 years, made from a material that’s difficult to work with, and each pair will have to be hand finished, assembled, wrapped, boxed, and marketed.

Even assuming they’re 3d printed, it’ll be expensive to make them. I just got a quote for a titanium pen clip in DMLS grade 5 titanium and it was $100. That’s for just a pen clip with no additional work done to it. Raw print. Now more than quadruple that for a pair of glasses. Keep in mind you can’t just use the raw print. They’ll all have to be processed in a way to get the correct surface texture for X-metal, holes drilled and tapped, rubbers made, lenses made, leather added. Add in what looks like a second pair, and it’s really a pretty nice price at $2300.

I get that it’s expensive, but most people here (you included) spend or used to spend thousands of dollars on glasses here a year and you guys could buy one if you really wanted. You just feel that Oakley shouldn’t charge that much because you want it cheap. Everyone on this forum is super cheap.
