Prices lately for X metal's are getting ridiculous ..

[Txcrosshair 2.0]

Been seeing a lot on Craigslist and Ebay... Some of these prices being asked are just absurd.

Everybody is jumping on the Metal bandwagon and trying to rape people.

Case in point... I bought this same pair last month Brand new at the Oakley store for $350

That's Capitalism brother! At least here people don't try to swindle. The Forum is your friend!

Shame that those prices do not reach us in the UK! Import duty is a real stinger

Yep! I know what you mean. I'm after some lenses now and keep seeing good prices on eBay for lenses in the US but they're not so good once the import duty is added.

It seems the demand for x metals is huge at the moment. A lot of bidding wars going on!

Some of the best deals seem to come from mainland Europe. No import duty involved.

Most of my vintage Zeros have come from France & Germany except one pair of 0.7s I got on Gumtree for £30!

But that ebay listing is from brazil. Their oakley stuff is already overpriced like that.
