I am not a natural salesman, but sometimes you learn best by necessity. My Oakley collection resides in a "spare bedroom" in my houses that houses a snake, video games, swords, light sabers, no spare bed and a lot of Oakleys. So, overall my wife is pretty patient. However, I knew another case wouldn't be well received initially (but I really needed the space ;)).

I started by dropping hints I needed more space and might need a new mega tower... or maybe a double wide! I moved on to countertops and almost had her sold on an aluminum cube. When a newer cube came along, it was almost an easy sell. Unfortunately, it was damaged in shipping but it will work for a while.

And then throwing in a medicine cabinet was easy! :imtheking: I'm not sure what the final set up will be, but they are in the house with minimal resistance! :party:

Congrats. :)

Now if only there was a way for the wife to get lost in the desert. :whistle:
 
You guys are horrible! Lol. However there may be a way to get a new case.

As a wife with a husband with a fishing addiction you need to involve her. If she doesn't have her own collection of things to balance the Oak collection then get her a few pairs of her own. Then when you casually mention needing a new case she may go for it....to incorporate her new shades too. Worth a shot anyway.
