Price Increases....

[OFather]

No other company makes the product at the same quality level that Oakley does. So until someone does, your paying for that quality level. Most of us have more than a few pairs, the average Sunglass wearer has 1, maybe 2. They don't spend anywhere near as much money on sunglasses as we do. We are enthusiasts and collectors, do we have to be? Who chose to keep buying year after year, collection after collection? Oakley has USstandardissue.com which gives around 60% off to the people who use the product to do the job they need to do.They help out our Firemen, Policemen, and Armed Forces. Do you know any other Sunglass companies that does this?

Oakley raises is minimal compare to Gibson and Fender, their signature models can go up by 100s. Their lens makes up for the pricing, those G30 and Light Positive Red Iridium is just lovely. The VR28 Black Iridium, the blue skies bluer, WOW!!!

I think the point being made is that there is already a huge profit margin on Oakley gear, so the price increases have annoyed some members.

It's the way of the world though. Everything has gone up in price recently. Don't get me started on the cost of fuel!!! haha

And hey, chins up, at least the Elite range prices haven't gone up though, eh?
Cos, ya know, they sell those at cost. No profit at all.



(Haha - sorry - almost managed to keep a straight face there)

Bump for this thread, anyone notice the price increase of the Pit Boss? When they first came out they were at $595, and now $750?! Damn they're proud of those.
